manipulating strings

I am trying to remove some special characters from a string. I have got the following string 

[_fesd][009] Statement

and I want to get rid of all '_' '[' and ']' I managed to remove the first characters with TrimStart and I get fesd][009] Statement

How should I remove the special characters from the middle of my string?

Currently Im using the following code

string newStr = str.Trim(new Char[] { '[', ']', '_' });

where str is the strin that should be manupulated and the result should be stored in newStr

var newStr = Regex.Replace("[_fesd][009] Statement", "(\\[)|(\\])|(_)", string.Empty);

var chars = new Char[] { '[', ']', '_' };
var newValue = new String(str.Where(x => !chars.Contains(x)).ToArray());

You could use Linq for it:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var s = @"[_fesd][009] Statement";
    var unwanted = @"_[]";

    var sanitizedS = s
        .Where(i => !unwanted.Contains(i))
        .Aggregate<char, string>("", (a, b) => a + b);

    Console.WriteLine(sanitizedS);
    // output: fesd009 Statement
}

Use string.Replace with string.Empty as the string to replace with.

string newStr = str.Replace("[", "").Replace("]", "").Replace("_", "");
