How do you remove "onclick" from a html element in javascript

I want my code to only peform the onlick() before a button is pressed. How can i remove the onclick() so that they dont pass anything

(remove onclick())

<button class="testclass" id="testid" onclick="test()">finish setup</button> (button to execute the removal of onclick())

I tried with

document.getElementById("boardsection1").removeAttribute("onclick")

however it did not affect anything
