Answer 1

If you want to avoid removing lis containing blabla unless blabla is further nested, use this:

$("ul li > a:contains('blabla')").parent().remove();

Otherwise, the first li from this HTML will be removed even though "blabla" is not where you might be targeting it:

    

        

            Some nested content here:
            
                Blablabla
            
        
    
    
Some text
