Answer 1

If you're using C# you should use System.xml.linq (XDocument)

You can remove a node like so:

XDocument.Load(/*URI*/);

var elements = document.Root.Elements().Where(e => e.Element("loc") != null && e.Element("loc").Value == "http://www.my.com/en/flight1");
foreach (var url in elements)
{
    url.Remove();
}
