You  need to decide which of the XML Attributes you require for your XML output. Either select the XML Attribute icon or select XML Attribute from the Insert menu and then either pick the data from the spooled file or add the static attribute. Right click on the first attribute and select Properties, then click on the pin in the top right hand corner to keep the properties box open. In this way you can check if an attribute is required. You will see Required = yes in the properties box. Anything that is a required attribute should not be deleted.
