How to remove xml nodes which start with Name as Format

Question

I am trying to removing certain nodes which start with "Format" from the input. I have removed some nodes by specifying the names directly but there are a lot of nodes which start with "Format". Could any one direct me how can I remove the nodes with "Format" at start. Here is my XML

  </PolicyHdrData>
</PolicyHdr>

and Here is XSLT which I have written

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
     </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="CoreMessageObjectArray[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="ChangeType[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="EntityStatus[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="ID[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="DisplayName[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="UserID[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
<xsl:template match="Sequence[not(*/term[string-length()>0])]"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Answer 1

If you want to remove all elements whose name starts with "Format" just add this template

<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'Format')]"/>
