You can use this:

$('g[cursor="pointer"]').remove();

@gdoron I have a vague memory that not all browsers can "see" into SVG structures; it's as if they're not really part of the DOM. I could be completely wrong however.

@Pointy, so, is there other ways?(if the vague memory didn't mislead you)

I'm trying to determine whether I'm remembering correctly - I'll add a comment when I figure it out :-)

I think I must be thinking of something else - this simple test suggests that it should work fine
