Do your lines only have a single :?

Use something like s/^.*://g.

@Zoredache Notepad++ doesn't support the /// syntax . . . you have to do find and replace dialogs, so it'd be more like ^.*:(.*)$ in the find box, and in the replace, you'd have \1. Though I'll point out that the title to this question suggests wanting the exact opposite of what the question asks (remove the part after the :, as opposed to keeping it)
