How to remove links from a database field?

I have links and Downloads Manager installed. In 1100 entries in there are dead links in the description field, due to copy -pasting of text.
I need to remove all links from the that description field, so that only plain text remains in that field. The database table is vb_linkslink and the field is linkdesc

Links look like this:

Code:

[url="http://www.somesite.com/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=Search&Term=%22Guo%20Y%22%5BAuthor%5D&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlus"][color=black]Some author name[/color][/url]

I would like to remove the link and keep the Author name.

Does anyone know what query I could use to do this?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
