Are you looking for something like this:
# ------------------------------
def remove(root, tag, text):
items = root.xpath(f'.//{tag}')
for item in items:
if item.text == text:
parent = item.getparent()
parent.remove(item)
return root
# ------------------------------
Also look at element.iter, element.iterdescendants, etc.

Hello,
I'm only getting started with (l)xml, and was curious to know if
someone had an example of how to remove all items in an XML file
that match the following string:
^\t*<ele>100.25</ele>\r\n
Thank you.
