The <p> element you want to remove is a child of the body-Element defined in your variable "body". So you can easily remove the selected child (in this case it's the element behind the variable "pleaseEnableParagraph") by using the method removeChild() on the body:

body.removeChild(pleaseEnableParagraph);
