I am doing this, like in this answer :
string test = "test\"test";
test = test.Replace("\\\"", "");
but the result is still test = "test\"test".
The result shoud be test = "testtest", Why my replace does not work ?

literal `test\"test` is parsed by compiler and stored as `test"test`, so there is no slash in string – Iłya Bursov Oct 04 '18 at 14:40

Not sure if flagging as a typo or not... Do note that `\"` means only `"`. – Cleptus Oct 04 '18 at 14:41

Because your string is actually test"test not test\"test. The backslash is used to escape double quote, it's not in the actual string.
Try using a verbatim string:
string test = @"test\""test"; // equivalent to test\\\"test

The verbatim string doesn't really add much. You have to escape one of the characters either way. Without the verbatim string, it becomes `"test\\"test"`. Regardless, you have the right of the issue - escaped string was escaped :) – CodeHxr Oct 04 '18 at 14:53
