[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance]
Removes the internal representation of the XML document specified by the document handle and invalidates the document handle.
A parsed document is stored in the internal cache of [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion]. The MSXML parser (msxmlsql.dll) uses one-eighth the total memory available for [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion]. To avoid running out of memory, run sp_xml_removedocument to free up the memory.
