remove javascript prototype function

I use some kind of a library that declare 

slide.prototype.removeClick= function(){
//something here
}

How to remove the prototype of removeClick in my js file? I can comment out or delete that chunk in the library js but that's not a good practice.

here function created using 'Prototype' is a kind of 'Object' and we have facility of deleting object so as @jfriend00 said you can delete it using 'delete'.

and i would suggest if you are not gonna use that prototype function then just delete that particular lines of code man..!!! that will reduce your Complexity.

Since presumably some code is going to call that function and you probably don't want a script error to occur at that point, you can just replace the existing function with your own dummy function by just reassigning the removeClick method to a new dummy function:

slide.prototype.removeClick = function(){}

Try delete slide.prototype.removeClick or slide.prototype.removeClick = null
