           hFlip: true,
       },
   },
});

// Removes 'add' and 'plus' icons
iconSet.remove('add');

// Removes 'triangle-left' icon.
// Variation 'triangle-right' no longer has valid parent, but still exists in icon set.
iconSet.remove('triangle-left', false);

// Export icon set. 'triangle-right' will be in result because export() does not validate icons.
console.log(iconSet.export());
