How to remove an object from an array if it has the letter a?

Question

I need to make a function that receives 2 parameters, the first one is an array of a list of users that must contain first name, last name and phone numbers, at least 3 of those users must start with the letter "a", the second parameter is a callback. You must process the array and delete all the users whose name starts with the letter "a". Then send the new processed array to the callback. The callback must show in console, the list of all the names, concatenating first and last name.

const users =
    [{
        name: 'Diego',
        lastname: 'Garcia',
        phone: '12343'
    },
    {
        name: 'Camilo',
        lastname: 'Garcia',
        phone: '12343'
    }, {
        name: 'ana',
        lastname: 'Rodriguez',
        phone: '02343'
    }, {
        name: 'anastasia',
        lastname: 'Zapata',
        phone: '42343'
    }, {
        name: 'alejandra',
        lastname: 'Perez',
        phone: '52343'
    }];


const operation2 = (list) => {
    let x = [];
    let callback = {};

    callback = list.find(element => element.name.charAt(0) == 'a');
    let l = list.indexOf(callback)

    let g = list[l];
    console.log(g)

    if (callback) {

        x = list.splice(l, 1)
    } return list

}

console.log(operation2(users))

The code that I made does not work, it is not eliminating all the names that begin with "a", it only eliminates the first object of the array.

Array.find only finds the first match, you should probably filter out the elements you don't want:

const result = list.filter(element => element.name.charAt(0) !== 'a');

    }, {
        name: 'alejandra',
        lastname: 'Perez',
        phone: '52343'
    }];



function func(list, callback) {
  let users = list.filter(u => !u.name.toLowerCase().startsWith('a'));
  callback(users)
}

func(users, (users) => {
  console.log(users)
})
