FOUND IT. For anyone using this theme, remove it from the .php files provided in the editor within your WordPress admin panel. After that, log in to your domain hosts file manager and navigate to public_html > wp-content > themes > anolox > lib > includes > home-blog-layout.php
Cheers!
Here is the string to be removed:
<span class="post-by"><?php print __('By', 'an'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> — <?php comments_popup_link( __('Leave a comment', 'an'), __('1 Comment', 'an'), __('% Comments', 'an') ); ?></span>
