Notice, that "^M" is a literal line break: in vi press "<CTRL>-<V>", then hit <ENTER> to enter it. You will notice that it is a single character rather than two chars.
To remove lines which contain any number of whitespace (Tabs and or blanks):
Enter a literal TAB-char (press <TAB>) and a blank, i just wrote it that way to make it easier to read.
Finally, to find out which unprintable character is bothering you: open the file in vi, enter command mode (press ":") and enter "set list". You will see all the unprintable characters as control codes now (tab characters are represented by "^I" for instance, etc.). Only a blank is now printed as blank char. Enter command mode again and use "set nolist" to switch that off again.
