Using Trim with wildcards possible?

I am trying to trim a spreadsheet with a lot of text similar to the following
text below, where I want all characters BEFORE the APCo: 30/ deleted. Someone
told me to use TRIM(*30/ ) as a wildcard rather than count out specific
characters, but I can't get the formula to work. Any guidance would be
appreciated. Thanks.

CABLE-FACILITIES/CABLEPLANT/ APCo: 30/ 21697-CDW DIRECT LLC / TR# 1,750/1 /
Ref# DFZ6761
