I'm using Notepad++ Replace box to delete text to the left of the colon (:) in all 3 lines of my file:
TRACE: do
TRACE: re
TRACE: mi
I'm using ^[^:]+: in the 'Find what:' field and 'Replace with:' is empty but when it goes to the next line it automatically selects and deletes what was output in the previous line, so when I run Replace All it results in:
mi
It should show:
do
re
mi

It's a "bug" ("feature") of Notepad++, you have to capture the rest of the line and use the value in replace:
- Find what:
^[^:]+:(.+)$ - Replace with:
$1 - check Wrap around
- check Regular expression
- UNCHECK
. matches newline - Replace all
Another way is:
- Find what:
^[^:rn]+: - Replace with:
LEAVE EMPTY

+1. Originally, I though NP++'s implementation was fine, but I tested this Python example, and found that NP++ is indeed irregular by retaining position after a lookbehind is evaluated. Learn something new every day! I lack time now, but I can probably file an issue in their GitHub repo later (there's no related issue currently open).

Not to mention that it's misleading because it's inconsistent with other components of the find-and-replace tab, like what's shown to the user when previewing a change via the "Find" or "Mark". (Side note: I find "Mark" to be particularly useful when drafting regex to ensure I haven't made a silly mistake.) Really I'm starting to think I should switch text editors or start contributing my own bug fixes to Notepad++, since there are actually a surprising number of miscellaneous issues. But I guess that's probably the case for any dedicated program user like myself.
