xslt remove parent with certain child node's attribute

I have following xml code

<root_el>
 <cell>
  <button id="btn_phone_mvg">
   <text>…</text>
  </button>
 </cell>
 <cell>
  <button id="btn_email_cmb">
   <text>…</text>
  </button>
 </cell>
 <cell>
  <button id="btn_address_mvg">
   <text>…</text>
  </button>
 </cell>
</root_el>

And I need to transform it to another xml where all cell with child button that has id with _mvg ending will be removed

So far I've figured out that to remove all cells with child buttons with certain id attribute value will takes this

<xsl:template match="cell[button/@id='value']"/>

and to get the last 4 chars of id attribute will take next XPath expression

substring(@id,string-length(@id)-4)

But I don't know how to put this together and get required output

Try this way to match <cell> with child <button> that has id with last four character equals _mvg :

<xsl:template match="cell[button[substring(@id,string-length(@id)-3)='_mvg']]"/>

Or if available, you can use ends-with() function to literally match by string ending :

<xsl:template match="cell[button[ends-with(@id, '_mvg')]]"/>
