Hi!  
I'm kinda new here so i'm probably wrong but shouldn't this action:

Replace with regular expression:  
Field:ARTIST  
Regular expression: Feat. $/  
Replace matches with:

Be deleting every " Feat. " located at the end of the artist field?  
Thank you for your time!

The . is any character, perhaps you have to escape it  
The / behind the $ is superfluous.  
The regular expression is case sensitive, i think.

So just  
Feat. $  
should do.
