let doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "Tables.docx");

expect(doc.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Table, true).count).toEqual(2);

let curNode = doc.firstSection.body.firstChild;

while (curNode != null)
{
  // Save the next sibling node as a variable in case we want to move to it after deleting this node.
  let nextNode = curNode.nextSibling;

  // A section body can contain Paragraph and Table nodes.
  // If the node is a Table, remove it from the parent.
  if (curNode.nodeType == aw.NodeType.Table)
    curNode.remove();

  curNode = nextNode;
}

expect(doc.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Table, true).count).toEqual(0);

Shows how to delete all shapes with images from a document.

let doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "Images.docx");
let shapes = doc.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Shape, true).toArray().map(node => node.asShape());

expect(shapes.filter(s => s.hasImage).length).toEqual(9);

for (let shape of shapes)
  if (shape.hasImage) 
    shape.remove();

shapes = doc.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Shape, true).toArray().map(node => node.asShape());
expect(shapes.filter(s => s.hasImage).length).toEqual(0);
