Command to find a string and delete it from a file

I have a property file mail.properties. The content of the file is 

[email protected],[email protected],[email protected] 
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

...and numerous such entries.

I want to find [email protected] and delete it wherever it is present. The output property file (mail.properties) should look like : 

[email protected],[email protected] 
[email protected],[email protected]
[email protected],[email protected]

You can try this sed,

sed 's/[email protected],\?//g; s/,*$//' mail.properties

Use -i option for in-place edit.

sed -i 's/[email protected],\?//g; s/,*$//' mail.properties
