Console

alternatively you could paste the "paste-into-console" one into the javascript console if you want to tinker with it

Browser Extension

This could easily auto-run on the page if it was thrown into a browser extension, I just didn't do it myself. If you do, please share in the comments!

bookmarklet.js

javascript:((document.querySelector('[aria-label="New! Messenger App for Windows"]').parentElement.parentElement.remove())());

paste-into-console.js

document.querySelector('[aria-label="New! Messenger App for Windows"]').parentElement.parentElement.remove()
