You can delete the single record using Entity framework by selecting that record first and then using .Remove () method

using (var Context= new DataBaseEntities())
{
var itemToRemove = Context.Table_Name.Where(a => a.id == 1).FirstOrDefault(); //returns a single item.

if (itemToRemove != null) {
    Context.Table_Name.Remove(itemToRemove);
    Context.SaveChanges();
}
}

Or you can use context.Entry(employer).State = EntityState.Deleted

using (var Context= new DataBaseEntities())
{
var itemToRemove = Context.Table_Name.Where(a => a.id == 1).FirstOrDefault(); //returns a single item.

if (itemToRemove != null) {
    Context.Entry(itemToRemove).State = EntityState.Deleted;
    Context.SaveChanges();
}
}

 var ObjectTORemove= Context.Table_Name.Where(a => a.id == 1).FirstOrDefault();

  //Delete it from memory
  entities.DeleteObject(ObjectTORemove);
  //Save to database
  entities.SaveChanges();
