How to select a row in a table and select a specific radio button next to it

I would like to select a specific row in a table on a website and select a button next to it. The problem I have is each time I select the button it remembers the last button by position xpath=(//a[@id='DeleteLnkBtn'])[4] but i would like to select the row by name and select the button unique to that row. There are multiple rows with the same buttons all having the same name (Delete).

HTML:

<td>Auto Missed Session 2</td> <a id="DeleteLnkBtn" >Delete</a>

My aim is to reference the row by a text in the table "Auto Missed Session 2" and click on the delete button.

Here is what I've tried so far.

Option 1 - driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr/td[contains(text() = 'Auto Missed ssion 2', + 'DeleteLnkBtn')]")).click();

Option 2 - driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//tr/td[contains(text(),'Auto Missed Session 2' + 'Delete')])")).click();

The above fails stating this is not a valid Xpath expresssion on Option 1 and No such element: unable to locate element on Option 2

The table data looks like this td> Auto Missed Session 2 /td> - This is the name of the row in the table i would like to select.

a id= "DeleteLnkBtn" This is the button i would like to select.

Xpath of the button is //*[@id="DeleteLnkBtn"]

Thanks.
