jsoup - How to remove an element from a group of elements?

Question

Given the code below:

HTML:

<div>a</div>
<div>b</div>
<div>c</div>

JS:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(baseHtml);
Elements elements = doc.select("div");
elements.get(1).remove();
// remove doesn't affect elements. why?
elements.size();   // equal 3
// but this works
doc.outerHtml() // <div>a</div><div>c</div>

Do I have to use this code to get removed elements? It seems too verbose.

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(baseHtml);
Elements elements = doc.select("div");
elements.get(1).remove();
elements = doc.select("div");

This should help you:

public class TestJsoup {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.google.ro").get();
            Elements select = doc.select("div");
            System.out.println(select.size());
            select.remove(1);
            System.out.println(select.size());
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(TestJsoup.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
}
