remove item from stored array in angular 2

You can’t use delete to remove an item from an array. This is only used to remove a property from an object.

You should use splice to remove an element from an array:

deleteMsg(msg:string) {
    const index: number = this.data.indexOf(msg);
    if (index !== -1) {
        this.data.splice(index, 1);
    }        
}
