This is such a trivial problem, I expect to see at least 75000 replies
saying the same thing:

Type in the command 
	:%s/^V^M$//

where ^V is the CNTL-V combination, and ^M is the CNTL-M combination.
When you type the ^V, the character ^ will appear on the command line.
When you next type the ^M, the string ^M will replace the ^ character.

I suggest a session reading the vi manual and/or man pages.
