xslt: removing node based on its child element value

I need your help on fixing my xslt.

My requirement is to remove specific child node based on its decedents(grandchild) value.

in the below example, i need to write an xslt which gives me xml containing whose decedent "SID" value not equal to "1113181"

Input XML:

There are four reasons why your attempt doesn't work:

If you want a template to remove TestData, make it match TestData - not its descendant;
The elements of your input XML are in a namespace; you need to declare a prefix and use it when matching/selecting them;
If you want to keep <TestData> whose descendant SID value does not equal 1113181, then make your removing template match TestData whose descendant SID value does equal 1113181;
68943181 is not 1113181.

Try:

XSLT 1.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:cdm="http://www.example.com/ns/CDM/v1.3">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="cdm:TestData[cdm:SubData/cdm:SubEventData/cdm:FmData/cdm:IGroupData/cdm:IData/cdm:Record/cdm:SID=1113181]"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
