It's not clear what do you mean.
Please give a source text and resulting text that you should get after transformation.

Delete unnecessary Worlds??

I think it is not for us to judge which worlds are necessary. We live in this world, and while I realize not everyone would agree to its level of necessity, I personally wouldn't be very pleased if someone deleted it without any kind of warning or explanation.

Artem, it's possible to do your task. I am just searching for correct
r.e.

Primarily it should be in 3 pairs of r.e. that should be put into batch grid, something
like this:

Search for:
\A.*?(<a href="\.\*<br>)
Replace with:
$1

Search for:
(<a href="\.\*<br>).*(<a href="\.\*<br>)
Replace with:
$1\r\n$2

Search for:
(<a href="\.\*<br>).*?\Z
Replace with:
$1

But these r.e. still need a final turning especially the last one.
