If a DOM Element is removed, are its listeners also removed from memory?

Question

If a DOM Element is removed, are its listeners removed from memory too?

Answer 1

Just extending other answers...

Delegated events handlers will not be removed upon element removal.

$('body').on('click', '#someEl', function (event){
  console.log(event);
});

$('#someEL').remove(); // removing the element from DOM

Now check:

$._data(document.body, 'events');
