C# LINQ Remove multiple objects from a list in single execution

It seems quite similar, but my question is quite different. I have a list which consists of objects which are implementation of different interface. I want to delete a particular type's objects, but after passing another criteria. A sample code is given below. 

 // remove the not required parameters 
foreach (EndPoint endPoint in endPoints)
{                 
    var maps = endPoint.EndPointParameters
        .Where(x => x is IEndPointParamMapCustom)
        .Cast<IEndPointParamMapCustom>()
        .Where(x => !x.IsActive)
        .ToList();

    foreach (var custom in maps)
    {
        endPoint.EndPointParameters.Remove(custom);
    }
}

I want to remove the below foreach loop and remove the objects in the above single LINQ query. Is it possible? Thanks.

You can use the RemoveRange function endPoint.endPointParameters.RemoveRange(maps)

If EndPointParameters is a List<T> ("remove multiple objects from a list") you can try RemoveAll instead of Linq:

// Remove the not required parameters 
foreach (EndPoint endPoint in endPoints)
{ 
    // Remove all items from EndPointParameters that both
    //   1. Implement IEndPointParamMapCustom 
    //   2. Not IsActive 
    endPoint
      .EndPointParameters                
      .RemoveAll(item => (item as IEndPointParamMapCustom)?.IsActive == false);
}
