I load a UIImageView with an image depending on user interaction. When the parent view is initially displayed, no image has been selected and the imageview is black. If the user leaves that view and comes back, the image is still there. I've tried

myImageView.image = nil;

upon leaving the view but the image remains. How can I remove the image so the UIImageView appears black again?

The

UIImageView

is connected through IB.

Setting the UIImageView as:

myImageView.image = nil

is the correct way to clear an UIImageView. Are you loading the image when your calling function returns? Is your UIImageView being declared, and/or used elsewhere in your main function?
