Use CLEAN on the cells in question

The Microsoft Excel CLEAN function removes all nonprintable characters from a string.

The CLEAN function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a String/Text Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel. As a worksheet function, the CLEAN function can be entered as part of a formula in a cell of a worksheet.

Reference

Example, Your input I've entered into Cell A1 and the output of =CLEAN(A1) is in cell A2
