Is there a way to export an artboard as an svg but only the contents of that artboard and nothing else on the canvas/other artboards?

I had a look and seems like other people have has this issue?
Would a solution be to remove all objects/artboards except the contents of the artboard needed first?

Thanks in advance!

// Get the active document
var doc = app.activeDocument;

// Loop through all artboards in the document
for (var i = 0; i < doc.artboards.length; i++) {
  var artboard = doc.artboards[i];
  
  // Check if the artboard's name is "Backprint"
  if (artboard.name == "Backprint") {
    
    // Set the artboard as the active artboard by its index
    doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);

    // Get the current document's name
    var docName = doc.name.split(".")[0];
    
    // Set the export options
    var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsSVG();
    exportOptions.embedRasterImages = true;
    exportOptions.embedAllFonts = true;
    exportOptions.coordinatePrecision = 7;
    exportOptions.minify = false;
    exportOptions.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.STYLEELEMENTS;
    exportOptions.fontType = SVGFontType.SVGFONT;
    
    // Set the file name
    var fileName = docName + "_Backprint";
    
    // Get the current file's path
    var filePath = doc.path;
    
    // Export the artboard
    doc.exportFile(new File(filePath + "/" + fileName), ExportType.SVG, exportOptions);
    
    // Exit the loop
    break;
  }
}

Artboards are not object containers, so no, just removing other artboards wouldn't do much. You can of course cook up all sorts of checks if an object is off-artbhoard and such and then remove them, but there's no simply function for that.
