Remove the line break "\n" after a "\" character in Notepad++

I have a CSV file that contains about 100'000 records some of which have been broken into multiple lines at a "\" character in the source data during the export. Can any one help me with an expression to remove any line breaks that follow the "\" character in the data.

Good afternoon. Did you try clicking on the "Edit" menu and "Convert line breaks" from the application "Notepad ++"?
