Your regular expression looks like it won't work so I tried a different one:

string s = "[url]www.google.com[/url] [url=www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]";
s = Regex.Replace(s, @"\[[^]]+\]", "");

Result:

www.google.com www.google.com

Also, you will need this using statement at the top of your file to make this work:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
