You can use replace()

Here's a broken down version using windows.location:

var new_url = window.location.protocol + '//'
            + window.location.hostname + '/'
            + window.location.pathname + '/'
            + window.location.hash.replace('#','','g') ;

Or remove all the hashes:

var new_url = (window.location + '').replace('#','','g');

var file = location.pathname.substring(location.pathname.lastIndexOf("/") + 2);
var location = window.origin + "file";
window.location = location;

in my opinion is using regex replace on string best and cleanest solution

.replace( /#.*/, "");

example

location.href = location.href.replace( /#.*/, "");
