Is there any way to remove # from a URL?

I know how to remove query strings using this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^?]*)\?
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,L]

But is there also any way to remove # from the URL? (Example.com/#removethis)

No.

The fragment portion of an HTTP URL is handled entirely client-side. It is never sent to the server. Since the server can't know about it, it can't do anything about it.
