How to use Sed to remove characters from file?

[grinder332518]

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 please help ?

thanks Mariostg
I actually came up with

sed -e :a -e '/\\$N; s/\\\n//; ta'

which is more or less what you are proposing.
