You could use this regex to match the things you don't want, and then replace any matches with an empty string:

\s*@\S*

The regex matches an optional number of spaces, followed by an @, then some number of non-space characters. For your sample data, this will give this is the te ++ 123 as the output.

Note the reason to remove spaces at the beginning (if the @ starts a word) is so that when a whole word is removed (e.g. @example in your sample data) you don't get left with two spaces next to each other in the output string.
