From cppreference.com

Defined in header <experimental/string>
template < class CharT, class Traits, class A, class U >
void erase ( std:: basic_string < CharT, Traits, A > & c, const U & value ) ;
(library fundamentals TS v2)

Erases all elements that compare equal to value from the container. Equivalent to c. erase ( std :: remove ( c. begin ( ) , c. end ( ) , value ) , c. end ( ) ) ; .

c - container from which to erase
value - value to be removed

Linear.

Example

#include <experimental/string>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::string data{"$$P$A$S$S$$W$O$R$$D$"};
    std::cout << data << '\n';
    auto crack{'$'};
    std::experimental::erase(data, crack);
    std::cout << data << '\n';
}

Output:
