You would need to save the artist object that is returned by
drawshapefile() in a list or something. Then, when you want to get rid of
it. you can call its `remove()` method or just do a `set_visible(False)` to
just hide it. This all requires having a reference to the artist object
itself.
Does that help?

Hello All,
I am working with Basemap and loading several shapefiles using checkboxes in python. However, when I uncheck a checkbox I would like a shapefile to be removed and stay with the other shapefiles that are already loaded. I tried reloading and replotting the whole thing when I remove a checkbox but it will remove all the other shapefiles as well. In simpler words, is it possible to remove a shapefile from Basemap after m.readshapefile() has been called?
Thanks in advance
