Do you mean something like this?

$str = 'https://startimage.ca/c83403.403/ahmedmynewpix.jpg';
$str = preg_replace('|/c[0-9.]+|', '', $str);
echo $str; # https://startimage.ca/ahmedmynewpix.jpg'

... or

$str = preg_replace('|/c[0-9.]+|', '/c', $str);
echo $str; # https://startimage.ca/c/ahmedmynewpix.jpg'

The point is that you replace anything starting from /c and containing either digits or dot symbol (.) - with either empty space or /c string, depending on what you need. )
