ListView delete item by name using VB.net

This code should work for you:

Dim lvw As New ListView()

lvw.Items.AddRange({New ListViewItem("Item 1"),
                    New ListViewItem("Item 2"),
                    New ListViewItem("Item 3")})

lvw.Items.Remove((From i In lvw.Items.OfType(Of ListViewItem)() 
                  Where i.Text = "Item 1").First)

It uses LINQ to find the item with the text "Item 1" and then it removes it from the ListView's ListViewItemCollection (the Items property).

The minor caveat here is that there must be an Item with the text "Item 1" otherwise the First() extension method will fail. If you are unsure, you can use FirstOrDefault() or pre-check the LINQ statement contains a value before proceeding with the item removal.

Edit

This is the updated code to match your updated requirement:

For Each lvi in lstNew.Items
    Dim masterItem = From i in lstMaster.Items.OfType(Of ListViewItem)()
                     Where i.Text = lvi.Text
    
    If masterItem.Any Then
        lstMaster.Items.Remove(masterItem.First)
    End If
Next

You can just copy the list from which you want to delete items, like this:

For Each lvi In lstMaster.Items.ToList
    For Each lvi2 In lstNew.Items
        If lvi.Text = lvi2.text Then
            lstMaster.Items.Remove(lvi)
        End If
    Next
Next

That way you don't have the problem of deleting items from the list you're currently enumerating.
