You can use attribute contains selector:
$('[id*="tab"]').find('[href*="#tab"]').remove();
Try to use attribute contains selector to achieve what you want,
$('div[id*="tab"] a[href*="#tab"]:not(".atitleTabs")').remove();
or just try the samething with .filter()
$('div[id*="tab"] a[href*="#tab"])').filter(':not(".atitleTabs")').remove();
Try
$("[id*=tab]").find("[href*='#tab']").remove();
You can use attribute selector * for this purpose.
If you want to use startwith clause you can use ^.
If you want to use endswith clause, use $
