Hi

Thank you for additional information. If you would like to remove this field by name you can try using the following code:

// Open document
Document doc = new Document("testdoc.docx");
// Get all FieldStart from the document.
Node[] fieldStarts = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.FieldStart, true).ToArray();
// Loop through all FieldStart.
foreach(FieldStart fieldStart in fieldStarts)
{
    if (fieldStart.FieldType == FieldType.FieldDocProperty)
    {
        string fieldCode = string.Empty;
        Node currentNode = fieldStart;
        // Get Field code
        while (currentNode.NodeType != NodeType.FieldSeparator)
        {
            if (currentNode.NodeType == NodeType.Run)
                fieldCode += (currentNode as Run).Text;
            currentNode = currentNode.NextSibling;
        }
        currentNode = fieldStart;
        // We should get Property name from field code
        Regex regex = new Regex(@"\s*(?\S+)\s+(?\S+)\s*(?.*)");
        Match match = regex.Match(fieldCode);
        string propertyName = match.Groups["propname"].Value;
        if (propertyName == "ImanageFooterVariable")
        {
            // Remove this field
            while (currentNode.NodeType != NodeType.FieldEnd)
            {
                currentNode = currentNode.NextSibling;
                currentNode.PreviousSibling.Remove();
            }
            currentNode.Remove();
        }
    }
}
// Save output document
doc.Save("out.docx");

Or you can just clear your footer:

doc.Sections[0].HeadersFooters.Clear();

Please let me know in case of any issues. I will be glad to help you.
