Try this...
Code:
#to delete 1 and 3rd <tr>...</tr> pairs
awk '/<tr>/ {i=i+1}  {if(i==1 || i==3){next} print}' file

if further if you want to delete say only the second pair, tweak the above code as
Code:
#to delete 2nd <tr>...</tr> pair
awk '/<tr>/ {i=i+1}  {if(i==2){next} print}' file

regards,
Ahamed

ldap_delete_ext_s

LDAP_DELETE(3)						     Library Functions Manual						    LDAP_DELETE(3)

NAME

       ldap_delete, ldap_delete_s - Perform an LDAP delete operation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_delete_s(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

       int ldap_delete(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_delete_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation synchronously.  It takes dn, the DN of the entry to be deleted.	It
       returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or failure of the operation.

       The ldap_delete() routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation asynchronously.  It takes the same parameters as ldap_delete_s(), but
       returns the message id of the request it initiated.  The result of the delete can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3).

ERRORS

       ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of ldap_perror(3) and friends.  ldap_delete() returns -1
       if something went wrong initiating the request.	It returns the non-negative message id of the request if things went ok.

SEE ALSO

       ldap(3), ldap_error(3)
