Remove the parentheses

In this kata you are given a string for example:

"example(unwanted thing)example"

Your task is to remove everything inside the parentheses as well as the parentheses themselves.

The example above would return:

"exampleexample"

Notes

Other than parentheses only letters and spaces can occur in the string. Don't worry about other brackets like "[]" and "{}" as these will never appear.
There can be multiple parentheses.
The parentheses can be nested.

def remove_parentheses(s):
    pass

import re
def remove_parentheses(s):
    while re.findall(r"\([^()]*\)", s):
        s = re.sub(r"\([^()]*\)", "", s)
    return s
