My purpose is to animate a (list) plot by removing points from it (adding ones to it) live. I would like to show how these actions influence my plot and my error (it should also change live as I remove some points). Is it possible in Mathematica? I already know how to show the list flow, but it's not quite what I was looking for. I would be grateful for any help on this.

$\begingroup$ How do you want to add/remove points? Explicitly typing out coordinates? Clicking on the plot itself? $\endgroup$ – J. M.'s ennui♦ Apr 13 '18 at 5:54

$\begingroup$ Clicking on the points / plot itself was what I was thinking about. Typing out coordinates would do as well, though. $\endgroup$ – aniager Apr 13 '18 at 5:55

As a proof of concept (which you can adjust to your needs), here is a Manipulate[] that demonstrates least-squares fitting of a line to a set of points:
Manipulate[Graphics[{{Directive[AbsoluteThickness[3], ColorData[97, 3]], lsline[pts]},
{Directive[AbsolutePointSize[7], ColorData[97, 2]], Point[pts]}},
Axes -> True, PlotRange -> 5/2],
{{pts, RandomReal[{-2, 2}, {2, 2}]}, Locator,
Appearance -> None, LocatorAutoCreate -> True},
Initialization :> (lsline[pts_] := InfiniteLine[{0, #1}, {1, #2}] & @@
LeastSquares[Transpose[PadLeft[{pts[[All, 1]]},
{2, Automatic}, 1]],
pts[[All, 2]]]), SaveDefinitions -> True]
The most relevant part here is the use of a Locator control within Manipulate[] with the set option LocatorAutoCreate -> True; with this, in addition to being able to drag points around the plot, you can Alt+click on points to remove them, or Alt+click on a blank area to add points.
