Lets say you have your single URL or some more in a text file line by line

you'd go through following steps:

• Ctrl+H
• Find what: ^(.+\d)(\/)(.+$)
• Replace with: $1 $3
• Tick the Wrap around option
• Search mode: Regular expression
• Click on Replace All (at your own risk)

Explanation:

^ asserts position at start of a line
1st Capturing Group (.+\d)
    .     # matches any character (except for line terminators)
    +     # matches the previous token between one and unlimited times
    \d    # matches a digit (equivalent to [0-9])
2nd Capturing Group (\/)
    \/    # matches the character /

3rd Capturing Group (.+$)
    .     # matches any character (except for line terminators)
    +     # matches the previous token between one and unlimited times
    $     # asserts position at the end of a line
