I'm new to XML and am having a problem understanding how to implement a solution of deleting certain elements within the tree. I've searched for a solution and have tried numerous examples, but have not generated anything that satisfies me. Hoping that someone may shed some light. Probably real simply, but I'm missing it since I'm just starting with XML.
A sample XML would be:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I'm trying to go through the XML and remove all instances of the element <deleteme>.
I've tried looping through XmlNodes to obtain any childnodes with name equal to "deleteme" then call the removeall(). This removes everything except the <deleteme></deleteme> tags. What would I need to do the remove <deleteme></deleteme> entirely?
Thanks in advance for your time and guidance.
