First, you need to identify a pattern in the 3-4 characters that you want to remove.  
We can only help you, if you show us a [screenshot](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/hints-for-asking-support-requests/56190#use-screenshots-to-exemplify-the-issue-2) of your ARTISTs.  
Together, we can try to define such a pattern.
