Unable to delete input field using selenium and python

Question

I have a HTML input field, that is pre-filled with email value after the page is open. See pictures bellow. It appears as a text box that can be deleted with backspace and I can type in that field. But what is a proper way removing it with selenium? I tried send_keys, and clear() with different variables but so far it wouldn't locate it properly or delete. I can click in the text input where the email is but that's about it. In the source code it show <li class> located in <span> tags.

can you please share the html of the <select> tag under the <span class="editmode"> — supputuri

Well you can use the below option to clear the items that are already present.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@class='search-choice-close']").click()

if you want to close all the already selected items then use find_elements and iterate.
