find . -type f |xargs sed -i '\#^//#d'

the find part find all files, and the sed part removes all lines starting with //

You can add -name option in find to do further filtering. check man find to get more useful information.

Your pattern contains slash /, so with sed's default /pattern/d you have to do some escaping. I used # as delimiter to save that kind of works, and made the code easier to read.
