Deleting elements in Python list using user input

Question

name=input("Enter your name: ")
message=input("Enter your message:")
namefinal=list(name)

for namefinal in message:
     del(namefinal)
     print(message)

I need help with creating a program that gets a message from the user and removes all of the letters that are in the user’s name. I made the user input(name) into a list but I don't know how to delete the letters. For example if I type in Charan and the message is Lebron James it will delete r,a,and n from Lebron James, making it Lebo Jmes.

you can do like this:

name=input("Enter your name: ")
message=input("Enter your message:")
namefinal = ''
for letter  in name:   
   if letter not in message:
       namefinal += letter
print namefinal

You can use replace, to remove letters:

for letter in name:
    message = message.replace(letter, '')
