So you want to remove all element nodes named 'comment'? That is done as
follows:
doc.Descendants("comment").Remove();

Here is a sample:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(@"<root>
<comment/>
<foo>
<comment>bar</comment>
</foo>
<comment>
<baz>whatever</baz>
</comment>
<comment>
<comment>foobar</comment>
</comment>
</root>");
doc.Descendants("comment").Remove();
doc.Save(Console.Out);
Console.WriteLine();
 
Try this one:

xDocument.Descendants().Where(e => e.Name == "comment").Remove();
