		This method detaches the DateTime picker element from the DOM, effectively leaving just the original `-tag input` element in the document.

		This can be useful in cases where a container that holds the `-tag input` for the DateTime is removed from the display (e.g. a modal form). Calling this method will ensure that the date / time picker is hidden, regardless of its focus state.
