Remove Child Elements From An HTML Element With JavaScript

Code

const parentElement = document.getElementById('someElement')

while (parentElement.children.length > 0) {
    parentElement.children[0].remove()
}

Where _alfa__ is the element to remove the children from

The MDN docs say to do this, but it didn't work for me. It wouldn't clear all the elements.

for (const child of playlists_div.children) {
    child.remove()
}

Not sure why.

(Thanks to i7 from Twitch chat for giving me the solution and saying me a non trivial amount of time)

MDN Element children documentation
This is where I got the code that didn't work. Need to go back and figure out where the problem resides
