Deletion of lines in a text file

Hi Everyone,
Please help me with this. I have gone through many posts here but couldn't find what I wanted.

I have a file with 79000+ lines and I want to delete lines in a pattern.

I want to delete every 141st line in the file, starting from line 2000 till 50000.

Please help guys.
