Regex not operator

Is there an NOT operator in Regexes?
Like in that string : "(2001) (asdf) (dasd1123_asd 21.01.2011 zqge)(dzqge) name (20019)"

I want to delete all \([0-9a-zA-z _\.\-:]*\) but not the one where it is a year: (2001).

So what the regex should return must be: (2001) name.

NOTE: something like \((?![\d]){4}[0-9a-zA-z _\.\-:]*\) does not work for me (the (20019) somehow also matches…)
