I am working on pipes and I only need vertices where the lines bend. A lot of my pipe have vertices in the middle of the polyline even though there isn't a bend.

Is there any way to delete them with out me going through every polyline 1 by 1?

I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.1 with an Advanced level license.

    What platform are you using? ArcMap has a Simplify tool that should do what you want but you need to specify your GIS and version.

You mentioned you are using Arcmap. Use Simplify Line, part of the Generalization Toolset. It sounds to me like using the "POINT_REMOVE" option is enough for your purposes. Use an extremely low tolerance to make sure that subtle bends do not get removed, you might have to play with this parameter a bit, as your "straight" lines may not be always as straight as they seem.
