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
