The ^V is typed by holding the Control key and then typing a "v". It will display on your screen as just ^. Then you hold the Control key and type a "m". Actually, of course, you can depress the Control key, type v m, then release the control key. But you cannot literally type ^V^M.

My guess is that this is your problem.

BTW, % is a shortcut for 1,$, so here is what I use:
:%s/^V^M//g
