Ah...the most telling/helpful aspect! :)

You might be able to use

        :%s/\r\%x8a//g

(typed literally) to nuke those items, or replace them with your 
favorite contents.

And I get to put "\%x" on my list of "new stuff I learned today".

        :help /\%x

and a bit under

        :help E68

for more on using that for putting hex values in your searches. 
True, it could also be done via control+V followed by "x" 
followed by the "8a" to enter it literally as detailed at

        :help i_CTRL-V_digit

So that should get you pointed in the right direction.
