Question: is there anyone out there that can illustrate how to remove ordinals
transactions from the mempool of my node?

Only for mempool? Use this patch and compile Bitcoin Core from source code, https://gist.github.com/luke-jr/4c022839584020444915c84bdd825831. You just need to follow compilation guide from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/doc#building. But if you don't want to store any Ordinal data on blocks, you should run Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 or other client which doesn't support SegWit which means your node doesn't store any witness data.
Is it possible to detect which nodes have applied this patch because I think if every node did it we could remove ordinals and the problems they bring to the Blockchain?
