Removing a List of values from set in apex?

I have two lists(mainGroupLinkerIPGlist and toCopy) i am trying to remove all the values of mainGroupLinkerIPGlist from toCopy by creating a set and adding both the lists to the IPGset. below is the apex code.
  
List<Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c> mainGroupLinkerIPGlist = [SELECT Id,Intralinks_Portal_Group__c FROM Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c where Contact__c = :mainGroupLinker.Contact__c];
        //system.debug('mainGroupLinkerIPGlist =' + mainGroupLinkerIPGlist.size());

    //query all the Groups the copyFrom contact has
    if(copyFrom.Contact__c != null) {
       List<Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c> toCopy = [SELECT Id,Intralinks_Portal_Group__c FROM Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c where Contact__c = :copyFrom.Contact__c];

         system.debug('toCopy =' + toCopy.size());

         set<Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c> IPGset = New set<Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c>(toCopy);

         boolean result = IPGset.removeall(mainGroupLinkerIPGlist);
         System.assertEquals(true, result);
         system.debug('mainGroupLinkerIPGlist Count=' + mainGroupLinkerIPGlist.size());
         system.debug('IPGset count=' + IPGset.size());

when i am trying to remove all the mainGroupLinkerIPGlist values from set it is not removing and i am getting below message. System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: Expected: true, Actual: false

Hi Chaitanya,

try below code.  
list<Integer> toCopy  = new list<Integer>{1,2,3,4,5};
list<Integer> mainGroupLinkerIPGlist   = new list<Integer>{1,2};
for(Integer i: mainGroupLinkerIPGlist  ){

  for(integer k = 0; k<toCopy .size()-1; k++){
             if(i == toCopy [k] ){
                 toCopy .remove(k);
}
}

}

Hi chaitanya,

I have modified your code such that to achieve the same logic. try with below: 
//query all the Groups the copyFrom contact has
    if(copyFrom.Contact__c != null) {
       List<Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c> toCopy = [SELECT Id,Intralinks_Portal_Group__c FROM Intralinks_Group_and_Contact_Links__c where Contact__c = :copyFrom.Contact__c OR Contact__c = :mainGroupLinker.Contact__c];

         system.debug('toCopy =' + toCopy.size());

Let me know if you face any issues.

The Salesforce documentation says that the function call "removeAll" return true ony if the original set changed as a result of the call.

It means that in case mainGroupLinkerIPGlist & toCopy lists have no common elements, then this function call will return false.

As a workaround, you can store size of IPGset before and after the function call and compare sizes to ascertain that values have been removed from IPGset.

HI Tavva Sai Krishna,

Your query is adding the mainGroupLinkerIPGlist  values again to toCopy List. i want to remove the mainGroupLinkerIPGlist  values from toCopy List. for ex : if mainGroupLinkerIPGlist  has {1,2} values and toCopy List has {1,2,3,4,5}. i want to remove {1,2} and keep only {3,4,5} in toCopy List.
