Had the image been drawn with a drop-shadow filter applied, you could have removed it. To do that you'd select the chess piece, then from the filters menu and choose Remove Filters. That would remove all the filters.

Unfortunately you don't really have an SVG drawing at all. What you have is a raster image of the chess piece wrapped in an SVG file. I.e.

<svg width="200" height="200">
  <image id="image0" width="200" height="200" x="0" y="0"
    xlink:href="data:image/png;*raster image data*"/>
</svg>

There's not much you can do here other than redraw the image you want from scratch in the editor as SVG.

  • If you really can't face drawing it yourself in Inkscape from scratch, you could always try to convert it to SVG via potrace. You might then be able to remove the shadow in inkscape if you did that. Commented Jun 28, 2020 at 8:10
