sed question from novice

My pipe delimited file is coming over with spurious “\” characters
inserted into some alpha fields,
which is causing the records to be split into 2.

Eg Abc|def|10/11\
AAAA|xyz
Lmn|opq|10/11BBBB|xyz
etc etc
I am having to go into vi, then enter / \ to locate each occurrence,
enter x to delete the character,
then enter shift and J to join the two into one.

I have been advised that I can use a “sed” type file to automate this,
but do not know how, nor the syntax to be used

Can anybody help ?
