Hi,
You can try to add such code at the end of that file :
function pagination_list_footer ($list) {
return '';
}
Now, rereading your messages, I'm not clear if you want to remove just the text before the dropdown, or whole area in your screenshot with the text before and after and the dropdown.
The solution above is to remove everything.
If you just want to remove the "Display #" text, then you can use a translation override of JGLOBAL_DISPLAY_NUM
