i want to Delete a node from XMl file using VB.net

Here is my Xml file

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<Names>
  <Name>
    <First_Name>FN 1</First_Name>
    <Middle_Name>MN 1</Middle_Name>
    <Last_Name>LN 1</Last_Name>
    <Country_Code>001</Country_Code>
    <Area_Code></Area_Code>
    <Phone_No></Phone_No>
    <Email_Address>mail@email.com</Email_Address>
    <Address>Address 1</Address>
  </Name>
  <Name>
    <First_Name>FN 2</First_Name>
    <Middle_Name>MN 2</Middle_Name>
    <Last_Name>LN 2</Last_Name>
    <Country_Code>002</Country_Code>
    <Area_Code></Area_Code>
    <Phone_No></Phone_No>
    <Email_Address></Email_Address>
    <Address>Address 2</Address>
  </Name>
  </Names>

and the code for deleting is

Dim xd As New XmlDocument()
        xd.Load(App_Path)
        Dim nod As XmlNode = xd.SelectSingleNode("//First_Name[. = 'FN 1']" &        
        "/parent::node()/First_Name")
        If nod IsNot Nothing Then
            'nod.ParentNode.RemoveChild(nod)
            nod.ParentNode.RemoveAll()
            xd.Save(App_Path)
            ctlStatus.Text = "Deleted"

        End If

Problem i am facing is its deleting all child rows like this

<Name>
  </Name>

i want to delete whole node means including Parent node <name> also
