there is the method remove(): https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/model/GroundOverlay.html#remove()

You just have to keep a reference to the ground overlay when you create it:

 GroundOverlay groundOverlay = map.addGroundOverlay(new GroundOverlayOptions()
     .image(image)
     .positionFromBounds(bounds)
     .transparency(0.5));

then remove:

groundOverlay.remove();

Read the answer carefully. In your screenshot, you are trying to call `remove()` on a `GroundOverlayOptions` object. You need to call `remove()` on the `GroundOverlay` object itself, which is returned when you called the `addGroundOverlay()` method. – NasaGeek Sep 24 '15 at 14:41
ahhh I see! Thank you! – Paul Alexander Sep 24 '15 at 14:44
