It's pretty straightforward:

QDomDocument doc;
QFile file("/tmp/1.xml");
file.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
doc.setContent(&file);
QDomElement plan = doc.documentElement();
QDomNodeList cars = plan.childNodes();
for(int i = 0; i < cars.count(); i++) {
  QDomNode node = cars.at(i);
  if (node.isElement() && node.toElement().attribute("id") == "1") {
    plan.removeChild(node);
  }
}
qDebug() << doc.toString();
