You just need to replace the scaped characters with their originals.

string stringWanted= existingString.Replace("<", "<")
                                                   .Replace("&", "&")
                                                   .Replace(">", ">")
                                                   .Replace(""", "\"")
                                                   .Replace("'", "'");
