Is there a way to delete all footnotes and associated text within an epub file?

Hello,

So, I typically like to load my Epub files into a text-to-speech reader on my phone - which is great, but sometimes the books I listen to have a plethora of foot notes and it's incredibly annoying to have TTS read each footnote number and the entire footnotes section at the end of the chapter.

I would really like to figure out if there's a way to just delete all footnotes, their associated text and hyperlink numbers in one or two clicks rather than manually editing and deleting 500+ entries throughout a book. This way I could just make an edited copy of the book for my text-to-speech app and have the regular copy for when I want to go back and check out the footnotes. Please see the attached image that shows what the file looks like.

Would anyone be able to help me understand/figure out how to do this? And if this is not the correct forum please direct me to the best place for a question like this as I'm rather new to this program and forum.

Thank you in advance
