How do I make a HTML/CSS element disappear after a jQuery animation completes?

I have this animation where a box moves from one part of the page to another with the click of a start button.

How would I get the box to disappear from the page after the animation is completed?

$(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    $("#box").animate({
      left: $(window).width() - 800
    });
  });
});
#box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: skyblue;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 300px;
  text-align: center;
  font-family: Times New Roman;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="box">
  <p> BOX </p>
</div>
<div id="box">
  <p> Box </p>
</div>
<button>Start</button>

You can run this right now, just add the complete event and it worked. Also read about .animate

edited: Update Jquery to version 3.6.0

$(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    $("#box").animate({
      left: $(window).width() - 800
    },{
      complete: function () { // complete call back
        $("#box").hide(); // can hide or remove this elemenet
      }
    });
  });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="box">
  <p> Box </p>
</div>

<style type='text/css'>
  #box {
    width: 100px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: skyblue;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0px;
    top: 50px;
    text-align: center;
    font-family: Times New Roman;
  }
</style>

<button>Start</button>

Consider the following.

$(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    $("#box").animate({
      left: $(window).width() - $("#box").width()
    }, function() {
      $("#box").fadeOut();
    });
  });
});
#box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: skyblue;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 300px;
  text-align: center;
  font-family: Times New Roman;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="box">
  <p>BOX</p>
</div>
<button>Start</button>

With .animate(), you can pass in an anonymous function to use once the animation is complete. I opted to use .fadeOut() to Hide the element. There are many ways to do this.

Please see:
