TinyMCE: Remove TinyMCE Editor from Textarea

From TinyMCE version 4 on, this is possible by just calling tinymce.remove().

If you would like to remove all editors, you can just call tinymce.remove() without any parameters:

tinymce.remove();

If you only would like to remove the editors, that are bind to textareas or divs, you can use one of the following commands:

tinymce.remove('textarea');
tinymce.remove('div');

And if you would like to remove only a special instance of TinyMCE, you can also pass the appropriate ID:

tinymce.remove('#id');

Of course, you can also use other selectors such as classes, for example.

Older versions of TinyMCE can be removed using the line tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', false, 'myid'), where you have to adjust "myid" to what you want to remove.
