Delete trailing white space

I have a string "disk0 with a trailing white space after it" but I want to get rid of this white space from right to left so that I am left with "disk0" only.

Using sed 's/ $//g' doesn't seem to work

Any ideas ?

Thanks

NAME
pnmcat - concatenate portable anymaps SYNOPSIS
pnmcat [-white|-black] -leftright|-lr [-jtop|-jbottom] pnmfile pnmfile ... pnmcat [-white|-black] -topbottom|-tb [-jleft|-jright] pnmfile pnmfile ... DESCRIPTION
Reads portable anymaps as input. Concatenates them either left to right or top to bottom, and produces a portable anymap as output. pamdice splits an image up into smaller ones. pnmtile concatenates a single input image to itself repeatedly. OPTIONS
If the anymaps are not all the same height (left-right) or width (top-bottom), the smaller ones have to be justified with the largest. By default, they get centered, but you can specify one side or the other with one of the -j* flags. So, -topbottom -jleft would stack the anymaps on top of each other, flush with the left edge. The -white and -black flags specify what color to use to fill in the extra space when doing this justification. If neither is specified, the program makes a guess. All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. SEE ALSO
