Do a find on the ":" with mark all. Invert all bookmarks, delete bookmarked lines. HTH

Since it's a single character (":") that you're looking for the absence of, you can search for the regular expression that matches lines containing only characters that aren't ":"
^[^:]*\n
and replace them with nothing.

Works for a single character. How do I do this for multiple characters?

You can't. Use s_reynisson's method instead.
