If you're getting a syntax error that just means you have a typo in your code.
If you would send in your code it'd be easier to spot the trouble. Meanwhile,
xdmp:document-delete("/your/uri.xml") will delete a document.
xdmp:node-delete(doc("/your/uri.xml")//author) will delete authors from a
document.
xdmp:node-delete(doc("/your/uri.xml")//author[cts:contains(., "Bob")) will
delete authors having Bob in their name from a document.
This is pretty basic stuff so you should probably read some of the
documentation on XPath, XQuery, and MarkLogic extension functions. Use the
list for questions not easily covered by the docs.
Good luck,
