Here is my string, tel:\\99999999999. Everytime I try to open it, it es with a single back slash like \99999999999.

How do I remove both the back slashes so that the phone number bees 99999999999?

var tel = 'tel:\\99999999999';
tel = tel.replace(/\\/g, '');

Here is a demo

Try:

var telString = telString.replace("tel:\\\\","");

I think this will help you

stringPath.replace(/^.*[\\\/]/, '')
