  • Ctrl+H
  • Find what: ^.*?\b\w{10,}\b*?(?:\R|\z)
  • Replace with: LEAVE EMPTY
  • CHECK Wrap around
  • CHECK Regular expression
  • UNCHECK . matches newline
  • Replace all

Explanation:

^                   # beginning of line
  .*?               # 0 or more any character but newline
  \b                # word boundary
  \w{10,}           # 10 or more word character
  \b                # word boundary
  .*?               # 0 or more any character but newline
  (?:\R|\z)         # non capture group, end of line or end of file

Use .{10,}\r?\n for line longer any 10 char.

Or if word with 10 or more: .*\w{10}.*\r?\n
