Remove object from list based on object property

my code is:

class Room {
public:
    int id;
    string name;
    int ownerFd;

    Room(int id, string name, int ownerFd)
    {
        this->id = id;
        this->name = name;
        this->ownerFd = ownerFd;
    }
};

void RemoveUserRooms(int ownerFd) {
    for(auto& room : rooms) {
        if (room.ownerFd == ownerFd) {
            //remove room from list
        }
    }
}

What I want to do is to remove object from list. I already tried with remove and erase but that seems not to work in this way. Is is possible to do with list?

Use iterator and erase while properly updating the iterator.

    for(auto i=rooms.begin();i!=rooms.end();)
    {
        if((*i).ownerFd == ownerFd)
        i=rooms.erase(i);
        else
        i++;
    }

Or better , you can use remove_if

rooms.remove_if([ownerFd](Room i){return i.ownerFd == ownerFd;});
