使用jQuery $（this）对象删除元素不起作用

I am trying to remove an object on my html page that is dynamically added in with jQuery and, of course, it is not removing the element. Below is a small snippet of the jQuery code and below that is the HTML I have. When I look at the console log the message is successfully printed but the object is still on the screen.Is there something I'm missing?I am trying to remove an object on my html page
