Using C# I need to remove the root element of an xml document and keep the inner XML document as is.x

<root xmlns="http://pjc.BizTalk";>
<ns0:LaunchStoreUpload xmlns:ns0="http://pjc.schemas";>
<Source>
<FTPParams>A</FTPParams>
</Source>
</ns0:LaunchStoreUpload>
</root>

Whatever I try :
root.RemoveAttribute("xmlns", "http://pjc.BizTalk";);
root.RemoveAllAttributes();
root.SetAttribute("xmlns", "");

when I use the root.InnerXML I obtain the following result

<ns0:LaunchStoreUpload xmlns:ns0="http://pjc.schemas";>
<Source xmlns="http://pjc.BizTalk";>
<FTPParams>A</FTPParams>
</Source>
</ns0:LaunchStoreUpload>

That's really not good for me, I don't want the extra xmlns=http://pjc.BizTalk added in the <Source> node


Sorry, your approach can't work, the namespace of an node in the DOM model is determined by its NamespaceURI property and you can't change that. Deleting any xmlns attributes on ancestors does not help, you can't change the namespace of a node.
You might want to look into XSLT to transform the XML. If you need help with that then let us know.
