Would you be comfortable doing it in JavaScript?

        function removeContent(id) {
        
          var node =
            document.getElementById(id);
        
          if (node) {
            node.parentNode.removeChild(node);
            node = null;
          }
        
        }

Credit goes to Paul Fenwick, who showed this JS example in a lightning
talk ("Fixing the web") at linux.conf.au this year.
