Check with the below code, i have tried practically, it is working for the below code.

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace RegexReplaceForum
{
public partial class regexClassMy : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fullPath = @"Q:\1111_drop1.TXT";
string replaceStr=Regex.Replace(fullPath, "Q:", "");

}
}
}

replaceStr variable Output:\1111_drop1.TXT

You just want to remove the 'Q:' from a string? You can use the normal Replace method for that (there's no real need for a regex here).

So instead of
FullPath2 = Regex.Replace(a.FullPath, "Q:", "");

Try this:
FullPath2 = a.FullPath.Replace("Q:", "");
