move child nodes parent node, remove aniruddha node.

here 2 ways, using xmldocument or xdocument:

   xmldocument doc = new xmldocument();     doc.load(filename);     var node = doc.selectsinglenode("//aniruddha");     foreach (xmlnode child in node.childnodes)     {             node.parentnode.appendchild(child);     }     node.parentnode.removechild(node);     doc.save(filename);

    xdocument doc = xdocument.load(filename);     var node = doc.descendants("aniruddha").first();     foreach (xnode child in node.elements())     {             node.parent.add(child);     }     node.remove();     doc.save(filename);
