You'll need to do this:

List elements = new ArrayList();

while (subchilditr.hasNext()) {
    Element subchild = (Element) subchilditr.next();
    if (subchild.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(text)) {
        elements.add(subchild);
    }
}

for (Element element : elements) {
    element.getParent().removeContent(element);
}

If you try to remove an element inside of the loop you'll get a ConcurrentModificationException.
