The task
In this challenge, your input is a non-empty list of positive integers, given in the native format of your language.
Your output is that same list, in the same format, with some elements removed.
You shall remove every occurrence of 1
, every second occurrence of 2
, every third occurrence 3
, and so on.
In general, for every positive integer N
, you shall remove every N
th occurrence of N
from the list, starting with the N
th occurrence.
Example
Consider the input list
[3,2,6,1,1,6,2,3,2,6,6,6,6,1,6,6,3,3,7,2]
First, we remove every occurrence of 1
:
[3,2,6, 6,2,3,2,6,6,6,6, 6,6,3,3,7,2]
Then every second occurrence of 2
:
[3,2,6, 6, 3,2,6,6,6,6, 6,6,3,3,7 ]
Then every third occurrence of 3
:
[3,2,6, 6, 3,2,6,6,6,6, 6,6, 3,7 ]
The numbers 4
and 5
don't occur in the input, so they can be skipped.
Next, we remove every sixth occurrence of 6
:
[3,2,6, 6, 3,2,6,6,6, 6,6, 3,7 ]
There's only one occurrence of 7
, so that can be skipped as well.
Thus the correct output is
[3,2,6,6,3,2,6,6,6,6,6,3,7]
Rules and scoring
You can write either a full program or a function. The lowest byte count wins, and standard loopholes are disallowed.

Leaderboard
Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language. To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:
## Language Name, N bytes
where N
is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:
## Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes
If you want to include multiple numbers in your header, make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:
## Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes
You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:
## [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes
