Hi,
I would like to know the process of clearing the Managed, Unmanaged & LOH objects.

I followed the procedure given in the documentation, and came up to Instance Retention Graph.
In the Instance Retention Graph, we are able to see the instances in different colors.
There we are able to see the Disposable and Non-Disposable objects.
How can we remove it from the Instance Retention graph.
can you explain it with an example.

The Instance Retention graph is not editable; you can't remove objects from it or add anything to it, it is simply generated after analysing your code. You would need to edit your program, based on the information the IRG is showing you, to break the retention of references.

The IRG simply shows you the shortest path to a GC root, and certain nodes cannot be ignored.
