Maybe this URL comes from some request, meaning you've that query string in the HttpRequest instance, associated to HttpContext.

In this case, you can always remove "q" query string parameter just by calling HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString.Remove("q");

Another solution would be the one suggested by Alex.

it is pretty simple. I use System.Uri class to parse the url, then remove the q query string parameter, and then build a new url without this parameter:

var url = new Uri("http://abc.com/qwe.aspx?q=DIEYeGJgNwvPSJ32ic1sY5x1ZYjOZTQZD9mjWl2EQJ8=&u=/foo/boo/kb");
var query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(url.Query);
query.Remove("q");
UriBuilder ub = new UriBuilder(url);
ub.Query = query.ToString();
var result = ub.Uri.ToString();

Now result holds value: http://abc.com/qwe.aspx?u=/foo/boo/kb.

Are the positions fixed? You can do one IndexOf("q=") and IndexOf("u=") and use SubString twice to remove the part. An other way would be to use regular expressions.

input = Regex.Replace(input, "q=[^&]+", "") would be one way to do it.

if Q is a fixed parameter....

str = str.Replace("q=DIEYeGJgNwvPSJ32ic1sY5x1ZYjOZTQZD9mjWl2EQJ8=", "");

Otherwise I would do:

var qa = Request.QueryString;
qa.Remove("q");
var queryString = qa.ToString();
