Please understand below code and try to fix your issue. I am deleting the node who has employee id as 2.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<company><employee><id>1</id ><name>sa </name></employee><employee><id>2</id ><name>ssa</name></employee></company>");
XmlElement el = (XmlElement)doc.SelectSingleNode("/company/employee[id=2]");
if (el != null) { el.ParentNode.RemoveChild(el); }
doc.Save("D:\\output.xml");
