How to fix mistake when connecting label to view controller

When I created by label and hooked it up to the view controller, I forgot to select "no arguments"before creating it. How do I go back and make that change?

Also, what if I accidentally selected outlet instead of action for a lablel? How would I go back and make that change?

Thanks you.

This happens because in your .Storyboard file , Xcode does not automatically remove the last reference you made to that same outlet. (stupid Xcode!)

Simply go to your .Storyboard file -->Select the ViewController --> Click on Utilities Inspector --> Then click on the Connections Inspector --> Click on the x next to the associated Outlet.

Thank you! This had me stumped. First thing I did and my app exploded. Lol

FYI I got this error:

self Fun_Facts.ViewController 0x00007fe4e1722740 0x00007fe4e1722740

It occurred after I added an IBOutlet, then deleted the code in the View Controller and then added it again. Please explain? Is this a bug in xcode?

Thank you Rashii! In my version of XCode I could not find those inspectors. However, when I right clicked the View Controller at the top it showed the outlets and I could x it out.
