Answer 1

Try this one

 XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
 XmlNode nodeToDelete = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/root/XMLFileName[@ID="+nodeId+"]");
            if (nodeToDelete != null)
            {
                nodeToDelete.ParentNode.RemoveChild(nodeToDelete);
            }
            xmlDoc.Save("XMLFileName.xml")

Answer 2

Assuming you have loaded that into an XmlDocument named doc:

XmlElement el = (XmlElement)doc.SelectSingleNode("/company/employee[id=2]");
if(el != null) { el.ParentNode.RemoveChild(el); }
