Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Lists Disemvowel

Please Help with remove function inPython

I don't understand here wether it's asking to implement the remove method to the string or a list.

How can we apply the remove method on a string value...It's giving an error: AttributeError

disemvowel.py
def disemvowel(word):
    word.remove("a")
    word.remove("A")
    word.remove("e")
    word.remove("E")
    word.remove("i")
    word.remove("I")
    word.remove("o")
    word.remove("O")
    word.remove("u")
    word.remove("U")
    return word

Strings don't have a remove method. But even if they did, remove only removes the first find of the element. For example:

>>> string = "aaa"
>>> string.remove('a')
>>> string
'aa'

Can you help with the above challenge...help me understand the problem
