How to delete the entire legend (not just the elements) using Arcpy

ChrisJudd1

I have looked everywhere in the API to try to find a way to delete the entire legend from a dataframe using Arcpy, but I have not been able to find the correct method. Could someone point me in the right direction?

arcpy.mapping doesn't let you add or subtract elements from your layout. The help files suggest that if you have an element that you don't wish to display on the output, change the location of the element to be off the page using the .elementPositionX property.

Worked like a charm, thank you! I set the set the legend's elementPositionX to -5000, like below and no more legend:

elementPositionX = -5000
