How to remove element "<div> <div style" from the soup?

I have a html in which I want to remove element <div> <div style. I tried below code, but to no avail

for d in soup.select('div > div.style'):
    d.extract()

Could you please elaborate on how to do so?

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

texte = """
<div class="content mw-parser-output" id="bodyContent">
    <div>
        <div style="clear:both; background-image:linear-gradient(180deg, #E8E8E8, white); border-top: dashed 2px #AAAAAA; padding: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; margin-top: 1em; direction: ltr;">

        </div>
    </div>
</div>
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(texte, 'html.parser')

for d in soup.select('div > div.style'):
    d.extract()
    
print(soup.prettify())

My expected result is

<div class="content mw-parser-output" id="bodyContent">
</div>

Here

soup = BeautifulSoup(texte, 'html.parser')
soup.select_one('div > div#content').parent.extract()

print(soup.prettify())

you can try with decompose method, Deleting a div with a particlular class using BeautifulSoup

for div in soup.findAll("div", {'style':'clear:both; background-image:linear-gradient(180deg, #E8E8E8, white); border-top: dashed 2px #AAAAAA; padding: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; margin-top: 1em; direction: ltr;'}):
   div.decompose()

print(soup)
 <div class="content mw-parser-output" id="bodyContent">

</div>
