Goal

To remove webparts from a page programmatically using C#.

Code

/// <summary>
/// This function will remove web parts with title passed
/// </summary>
/// <param name="_web">Web object</param>
/// <param name="_pageUrl">The url of the page on which the web part exists.</param>
/// <param name="_title">The title of the Web part</param>
private void RemoveWebPart(SPWeb _web, string _pageUrl, string _webPartTitle)
{
    //Remove the control once the page is copied
    Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPLimitedWebPartManager _webPartCollection = _web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(_pageUrl, System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);

    //Retrive the webpart and remove
    IList<Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart> _listFormWebParts = (from _wp in _webPartCollection.WebParts.Cast<Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart>()
                                                                            where string.Compare( _wp.Title , _webPartTitle  , true ) == 0
                                                                            select _wp).ToList();

    //Check if there are any web parts found
    if (_listFormWebParts != null)
    {
        foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart _listFormWebPart in _listFormWebParts)
        {
            //Remove the webpart
            _webPartCollection.DeleteWebPart(_listFormWebPart);

            //Update
            _web.Update();
        }
    }
}

Tip

Suppose we dont want to remove the webpart using "Title" we want to remove the webpart with type.

//Retrive the webpart and remove
IList<Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart> _listFormWebParts = (from _wp in _webPartCollection.WebParts.Cast<Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart>()
                                                                        where _wp.GetType() == typeof(Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListFormWebPart)
                                                                        select _wp).ToList();
