Default Deleting numerical values within a cell

I need more information.....

Are you saying that one cell contains this kind of text?:
xxxxxxxxx, 131414265, xxxxxxxx

and you want to adjust it to contain (all in the same cell):
xxxxxxxxx, , xxxxxxxx

or is your situation different?

Try this:

Select the range of cells to be impacted
Press the [F5] key........a shortcut for <edit<go to
Click [Special]
Select: Formulas.....Uncheck: Text
Click [OK]

That will select all of the numeric values (and errors)
Press the [Delete] key to erase the contents of the selected cells

Is that something you can work with?
