Removing some individuals from a data.frame

Lets say I have these data:

set.seed(123)
data <- data.frame(IndID = rep(c("AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE"),10),
    ValueOne = rnorm(50),
    ValueTwo = rnorm(50))
head(data)

Where there are 50 observations of two different values from 5 individuals (AAA - EEE).

I want to subset the example data to exclude Inds "AAA","BBB"and "EEE" and have named them to an new object. 

RemoveInds <- c("AAA","BBB","EEE")

How would I create a new data.frame that excludes these individuals and does so using the object RemoveInds?

What am I missing here? 

newData <- data[data$IndID != RemoveInds,]
newData <- subset[data, data$IndID != RemoveInds]

Thanks in advance.

Does this do what you're looking for?

newdata<- data[!data$IndID %in% RemoveInds, ]
