You should hide your elements you don't want to appear on the page with something like

driver.execute_script(document.getElementById('THE_ID_OF_YOUR_ELEMENT').style.display='none';");

If you don't want to use the ID, you can also use the css selector, the xpath, etc...

JavaScript will click on the element regardless its state (covered in your case)

//Java syntax, similar in other languages
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("id")); //locate the button
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;  //initialize JavascriptExecutor
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", button);   //click the button
