I see posts on how to move the "featuring" strings to another tag, but how would I just remove it completely from the artist tag?

It depends ..., if you show us a real world example, then it would be easy to give a concrete answer.  
In the meantime you can move the "featuring" part to a tagfield of your wish and in a following step remove this tagfield.

The artist currently looks like

or

Santana Featuring Dave Matthews

I want it to be

Convert "Tag - Tag"  
... or ...  
Action "Format value  
Field: ARTIST  
Formatstring: `$regexp(%ARTIST%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({]?(?:ft\.?|feat\.?|featuring)\s+(?:[^][(){}]+)[])}]?(\s*.+)?$','$1$2',1)`
