Output : '15AN 4/41 45'
That is not true. The output from your query is '15AN4/4145' (without the extra spaces).
If that is what you want, you can get it like this:

select str,
       substr(str, 1, instr(str, '/') - 1) || substr(str, instr(str, '/') + 1) as newstr
from   (select '1/5AN4/4145' as str from dual)
;



STR           NEWSTR    
-----------   ----------
1/5AN4/4145   15AN4/4145
