<         


        

Answer 1

You can't remove a path/shape from the canvas. You can draw something else over it or clear the canvas.

Answer 2

Try this:

ctx.save();
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-out";
// drawing here you path second time
ctx.restore();

"The globalCompositeOperation attribute sets how shapes and images are drawn onto the scratch bitmap" specs

How it works you can see here.
