lst = {{{{1, 3, 2, 4}}, {{5, 2}}}, {{4, 2}, {6, 1, 7}}};
lst /. (1 | 2) :> Sequence[]
{{{{3, 4}}, {{5}}}, {{4}, {6, 7}}}

Sequence[] is just an empty argument sequence, which is eliminated.

hi
how to delete numbers 1 and 2 from the multilevel nested list, while
preserving the structure:
{{{{1,3,2,4}},{{5,2}}},{{4,2},{6,1,7}}}
i hope the result is:
{{{{3,4}},{{5}}},{{4},{6,7}}}
i have tried delete with no success but after i have flatten the list.
thanks
