How to remove childNode in AEM

[drumilk92707948]

I would like to remove the child node by keeping the parent node hierarchy as is. can someone help how to achieve this.

For e.g.

/content

     /person

          /name

          /age

I would like to remove only child node "/name" here

you can use various ways via code using java JCR  API

----

Node root = getJcrSession().getRootNode();
  String path = getFacetPath( repositoryId, facetId, name );
  if ( root.hasNode( path ) )
  {
  Node node = root.getNode( path );
  do
  {
  // also remove empty container nodes
  Node parent = node.getParent();
  node.remove();
  node = parent;
  }
  while ( !node.hasNodes() );
  }
  }
  catch ( RepositoryException e )
  {
  throw new MetadataRepositoryException( e.getMessage(), e );
  }

I would like to retain the parent structure for e.g.

/content

     /person

          /name

          /age

/content/person should retain while "name" is removed only

Another way would be to run the groovy script to remove a node from a specific path. check [1] and "Remove corrupted nodes manually" at [2] on how to use it.

This should only remove the child node
