@sectsect, thanks for reporting the issue, it should be deleted automatically (unless chunk.keep is set to true), there's even a test for it which seems to be green for both Webpack 4 and 5 so I'll investigate manually.

I created a minimal project. (webpack: 5.3.2 / svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin: 3.6.0) https://github.com/sectsect/svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin-test

1. npm run build
2. Check directory dist/assets/js

   $ ls src/assets/js
   hello.js
   $ ls dist/assets/js
   hello.js        spritemap.js
   $ cat dist/assets/js/spritemap.js
   (self.webpackChunkhello=self.webpackChunkhello||[]).push([[355],{256:function(){}}]);

This should be fixed in 3.6.1 which is now available under the next dist-tag on NPM.

$ npm install svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin@next

Please test this release out using both Webpack 4 and 5 if possible and report any problems.
