It is not clear from your question what the criteria for deciding what strings to remove is, but if you have or can make a list of the strings that you want to remove , you could do the following:

my_strings = ['a','b','c','d','e']
undesirable_strings = ['b','d']
for undesirable_string in undesirable_strings:
    for i in range(my_strings.count(undesirable_string)):
        my_strings.remove(undesirable_string)

which changes my_strings to ['a', 'c', 'e']
