xmlnode_object.RemoveElement(element)
Prerequisites
The current node must be of type "element" or "document".
Parameters
element
A required string expression that specifies the name of the element to be removed.
Remarks

If the element is not found, an exception is thrown. The element must be an immediate child of the current node.
Examples
Dim doc As XmlDoc
Dim root As XmlNode
Dim elem1 As XmlNode
Dim elem2 As XmlNode
doc = New XmlDoc("my_doc")
root = doc.DocumentElement
elem1 = root.AddElementNode("section1", "Data for section 1")
elem2 = root.AddElementNode("section2", "Data for section 2")
root.RemoveElement("section1") ' Removes "section1"
