Delete Datatables row with media-id in button? $(this).closest("tr").remove(); won't work - datatables

Question

I'm looking for a way to remove a row from a table, but I can't do this anymore. I used to do this by entering an id in the tag, however nowadays I fill the table with json and Ajax and do not enter an id in the tag anymore.
Now I do add an id in the last column of the buttons: data-id. Can I do something with this?
HTML:
<tr role="row" class="even">
<td class="dtr-control"><img src="../images/red_thumb/1743.jpg" class="mediabank-preview-thumbnail"></td>
<td>1743.jpg</td>
<td>Beschrijving</td>
<td>Redactie</td>
<td class="sorting_1">01-12-2021 13:26:53</td>
<td>
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm edit" data-id="1743">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil"></span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm remove" data-id="1743">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
</button>
</td>
</tr>
I try a lot with something like $(this).closest("tr").remove() But this won't work...
Jquery:
$('#table_mediaBank').on('click', '.remove', function () { // Verwijder media
var id = $(this).data('id');
var media = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(1)').text();
if(confirm("Weet je zeker dat je media '" + media + "' wilt verwijderen?")) {
$.ajax({
url: 'pages/delete.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {id: id},
error: function() {
alert('Er is iets fout gegaan met het verwijderen van media-ID ' + id);
},
success: function(data) {
//alert(data);
//$("#"+id).remove(); OLD WAY to remove the row when ID is in <tr>
$(this).closest("tr").remove();
}
});
}
});
The record is removed from the mySQL database. Why $(this).closest("tr").remove(); won't work?
Can anybody help me?

This works!
$('#table_mediaBank').on('click', '.remove', function () {
var id = $(this).data('id');
var media = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(1)').text();
var row = $('#table_mediaBank').DataTable().row($(this).closest('tr')); // In variable schrijven omdat het in de Ajax succes funtion niet mogelijk is om naar 'this' te verwijzen
if(confirm("Weet je zeker dat je media '" + media + "' wilt verwijderen?")) {
$.ajax({
url: 'pages/delete.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {id: id},
error: function() {
alert('Er is iets fout gegaan met het verwijderen van media-ID ' + id);
},
success: function(data) {
//alert(data);
row.remove().draw();
}
});
}
});
