Default
For 1, a simple Find/Replace should be able to do it. All you need to do is to input the text to be deleted into the Find dialogue. Just make sure to not delete the one you want to keep.

For 2, a wildcard Find/Replace should be able to handle it, where:
Find = Answer[!^13]{1,}^13

In both cases, leave the Replace box empty.
