Hi Suleiman

Am not sure why you are creating another list and then trying to remove a list within the list. The first part of the challenge asks you to remove the last item from the list called states which is the number 5. The second part of the challenge asks you to remove the list of colors from the list called states. See below

states.remove(5)
states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue'])
