You must escape the quotes first!

To replace using a regex do this:

"\"This is some text\"".replaceAll("\"", "");

In regex, ' is a metacharacter , hence you have to escape it with a \

try this : 

str = str.replaceAll("\'", "");

or for a double quote: 

str = str.replaceAll("\"", "");

you need to escape the quote with a '\'

String quoted = "\"quoted text\"";
quoted.replace("\"", "");
