You could try using HtmlAgilityPack for this instead of using Regex.

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmldoc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
var Anchors = htmldoc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a");
foreach (var tag in Anchors)
{
    if(tag.Attributes["id"] != null) 
    {
        tag.Remove();
    }
}
