N/A, Category

I want to get rid of every occurrenc

Answer 1

You need to set the text after the replace call:

$('.element span').each(function() {
  console.log($(this).text());
  var text = $(this).text().replace('N/A, ', '');
  $(this).text(text);
});

  N/A, Category

Here's another cool way you can do it (hat tip @Felix King):

$(".element span").text(function(index, text) {
    return text.replace("N/A, ", "");
});
