Remarks

The Name parameter uses XSL Patterns to specify metadata elements.  Additional information on XSL can be found in the the IXmlPropertySet documentation.

If the Name parameter specifies an node that contains several elements, all sub-nodes will also be removed.  In the image below setting the Name parameter equal to "metainfo/metc/cntinfo" will remove all the ESRI contact information between the highlighted elements.

'This small example uses the RemoveProperty method to delete 
'the specified element

    Dim pGxApp As IGxApplication
    Dim pGxObj As IGxObject
    Dim pMD As IMetadata
    Dim pPS As IPropertySet
    
    Set pGxApp = Application
    Set pGxObj = pGxApp.SelectedObject
    Set pMD = pGxObj
    Set pPS = pMD.Metadata

    'Removes the Title element
    pPS.RemoveProperty ("idinfo/citation/citeinfo/title")

    'save the metadata changes
    pMD.Metadata = pPS
