How find and remove a piece of code from a XML file-CodePudding

c#:

XDocument doc = outputDocument.Document;
XNamespace nameSpace = XNamespace.Get("http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main");

var result = doc.Descendants().Select(x => x.Element(nameSpace   "p"));

This code returns me all the elements containing the < p > tag. It would be cool if I could find an element that has a tag:

<w:r>
  <w:t />
</w:r>

and delete the entire object with the closest parent. The code above is between vvv and ^^^

    XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(filename);
    XNamespace nameSpace = XNamespace.Get("http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main");

    var nodesWithTagP = doc.Descendants().Select(x => x.Element(nameSpace   "p")).Where(x => x!=null);
    foreach(var nodeWithTagP in nodesWithTagP)
    {
        var nodesWithTagR = nodeWithTagP.Descendants(nameSpace   "r");
        foreach (var nodeWithTagR in nodesWithTagR)
        {
            var nodesWithTagT = nodeWithTagR.Descendants(nameSpace   "t");
            foreach (var nodeWithTagT in nodesWithTagT)
            {
                 if(nodeWithTagT.Descendants().Count() = 0)
                 {
                     //Here you can use nodeWithTagP
                     nodeWithTagP.Remove();
                 }
            }
        }
    }

    doc.Save(filename);
