If, as I can see, you have forward slashes in the string to delete, escape them or use another separator in sed like:
You can also shorten the search pattern using regex "wild cards":
But be careful to be specific enough otherwise you will delete important lines that might match the pattern.
Finaly, when you are satisfied with the result, you can loop through all your files using the "in line" sed switch:
But be double careful here. Once you run the command, no way back. So backup you files first!

zegrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
