Could you please try following.

awk '{gsub(/ 9000.*/,"")} 1'  Input_file

To fix your code try:

sed 's/90000:.*//'  Input_file

RavinderSingh13, awk '{gsub(/90000:.*/,"")} 1' Input_file . I think is better to match exactly with the pattern, otherwise it will delete all if found " 9000"

@OXXO, I believe that is what you needed right? It is giving expected sample output as per post.
