Fix NotFoundError

in Netlify CMS

Solution

This error usually arises when Netlify CMS attempts to remove a DOM element that either doesn't exist or isn't a child of the expected parent. To fix it, verify that the element you're targeting for removal actually exists and is a child of the correct parent node before attempting to remove it, potentially using `parentNode.contains(childNode)` to check. Defensive coding with conditional checks before removal will prevent the error.
