You can also use the Find and Replace box. Click in the Find box, hold Alt key and type 0160 on the number keypad then release Alt; leave the Replace box blank, and hit Replace All.
Thank you so much, you kept me sane today. the number keypad is key!!

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
