Answer 1

If someone want to remove multiple rows at once, there is similar solution to accepted:

First we need to change SelectionMethod in our table to allow multiple selection:

table.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(SelectionMode.MULTIPLE);

After this, we need to set action with such code for button:

ObservableList<SomeField> selectedRows = table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItems();
// we don't want to iterate on same collection on with we remove items
ArrayList<SomeField> rows = new ArrayList<>(selectedRows);
rows.forEach(row -> table.getItems().remove(row));

We could call removeAll method instead of remove(also without creating new collection), but such solution will remove not only selected items, but also their duplicates if they exists and were not selected. If you don't allow duplicates in table, you can simply call removeAll with selectedRows as parameter.

Answer 2

Just remove the selected item from the table view's items list. If you have

TableView<MyDataType> table = new TableView<>();

then you do

deleteButton.setOnAction(e -> {
    MyDataType selectedItem = table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
    table.getItems().remove(selectedItem);
});
