Both the string and the regex uses \ for escaping. The regex will see the character \ followed by ", and think it's a literal escape. Try this:

Regex rgx = new Regex("\\\\\"");
string strip = rgx.Replace(xmlSample, "\"");

You could also use raw strings (also known as veratim strings) in C#. They are prefixed with @, and all back-slashes are treated as normal characters. To include a quote in a raw string you need to double it.

Regex rgx = new Regex(@"\""")
string strip = rgx.Replace(xmlSample, @"""");
