How can I delete multiple selected cells from collection view?

var _selectedCells : NSMutableArray = []

Delete button

@IBAction func DeleteButton(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
       // How delete multiple selected cells from collection view
}

Add cell index

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
     if self.EditToolBar.isHidden == true {
          self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "DetailVC", sender: indexPath.item)
     } else {
          print("EditMode")
          _selectedCells.add(indexPath)
          print("selectedCells - \(_selectedCells)")
     }
}

Delete cell index

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didDeselectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
     if self.EditToolBar.isHidden == true {
     } else {
          print("EditMode")
          _selectedCells.remove(indexPath)
          print("unselectedCells - \(_selectedCells)")
     }
}

Crash

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid update: invalid number of items in section 0. The number of items contained in an existing section after the update (5) must be equal to the number of items contained in that section before the update (5), plus or minus the number of items inserted or deleted from that section (0 inserted, 2 deleted) and plus or minus the number of items moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out).'

In numberOfRowsInSection method, return _selectedCells.count then in each didDelect and didDeselect mehtods, relod. TableView — Ali Moazenzadeh

     if self.EditToolBar.isHidden == true {
     } else {
          print("EditMode")

        if let index = _selectedCells.index(where: { $0 == indexPath }) {
       _selectedCells.remove(at: index)
        print("unselectedCells - \(_selectedCells)")

         }   
     }
}

Delete Button Action

@IBAction func DeleteButton(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
       // Two Things To make sure of 
       // 1. Never call reloadData() right after insert/move/deleteRows..., the insert/move/delete operation reorders the table and does the animation
       // 2. Call insert/move/deleteRows... always after changing the data source array.


       // remove the data from data Source Array you passed ,of selected cells you're trying to delete .

     self.collectionView.performBatchUpdates({
         self.collectionView.deleteItems(at indexPaths: _selectedCells)
     }){
              // optional closure
            print(“finished deleting cell”)
      }



}
