What is the time complexity for deleting an element from a linked list?

The time complexity for deleting an element from a linked list is O(1) or constant time. This is because deleting an element from a linked list involves updating the pointers of the previous and next nodes to bypass the node being deleted, which can be done in a constant amount of time regardless of the size of the linked list.
