How do I remove a script tag by its content and its src?

I need to remove a script tag (<script>...</script>) by its content and/or its src property. Taking as example this:

<script type=text/javascript>

    var adfly_id = 2776246;

</script>



<script src=https://cdn.adf.ly/js/display.js></script>

I've tried this code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

    $('script').each(function() {

        if (this.src === 'https://cdn.adf.ly/js/display.js') {

            $(this).remove();

        }

    });

});

But without success (I am using that code from within WP - if anyone is asking why that jQuery syntax), can any give me some advice?

EDIT: The idea here is remove the script to prevent its execution

This seems to work:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

    $('script').each(function() {



        if (this.src === 'URL_HERE') {



          this.parentNode.removeChild( this );

        }

    });

});
