Delete one slide from a Google Slide Presentation using Google Apps Script

I need to use Google Apps Script, not the API.

-> I'd like to delete this empty slide, so that the presentation contains only the slide I paste into it.

The code I have:

var presentation = SlidesApp.create("my new presentation"); // creates an empty slide in the prez
presentation.insertSlide(0,slides.pop()); // a slide from a deck of slides collected elsewhere
presentation.getSlides().pop(); // here trying to delete the empty slide, doesn't work: the slide remains in the presentation.
presentation.saveAndClose();

To remove the first slide, use the shift() method. The shift() method pulls the first element off of the given array and returns it.

  // Remove first blank slide
  const removeFirstSlide = newPresentationSlide.getSlides().shift()
  removeFirstSlide.remove()

But remember, to remove the first blank slide, you need more slides in your Presentation.

You need to remove the Slide. pop() just removes it from the array and returns the last slide in the Slide []. 

var lastSlide=presentation.getSlides().pop(); 
lastSlide.remove();
