Learn English – Opposite of “Save” with respect to saving in a list

phrase-requestssingle-word-requests

I'm developing an application where with the ability to browse items and save them for later. The behavior is essentially a user will look at items, and if the items are not present on their list I present the option "save", but if the user already has that item saved I would like to present an option to remove it from their list. The best I have found is:

"save" – meaning save this item to your list
"remove" – meaning remove this item from your list

Are there any other words that would fit better?

If you want words that are a natural pair, I would go with add and remove. The natural pair of save in a computing context is delete, which is not appropriate in this case, since nothing is being deleted.
