Answer 1

use this method to remove specific query parameter from URL.

/**
     * remove query parameters from actual url
     * @param {*} params paramerters to be remove, e.g ['foo', 'bar'] 
     * @param {*} url actual url 
     */
    function removeQueryParam(parameters = [], url) {
        try {
            var urlParts = url.split('?');
            var params = new URLSearchParams(urlParts[1]);
            parameters.forEach(param => {
                params.delete(param);
            })
            return urlParts[0] + '?' + params.toString();
        } catch (err) {
            console.log(err);
            return url;
        }
    }

    console.log(removeQueryParam(["foo"], "/foo?foo=foo&bar=bar"));

Above example will return /foo?bar=bar
