Remove Carriage return in varchar column in sql

Issue

I have a mysql table with VARCHAR column which contains String values. Sometimes at the end of the string there is a carriage return (\r). I only want to delete the \r at the end of the string if it exists.

Solution

A carriage return is CHAR(13)

The following code will remove Carriage return 

UPDATE table_name set column_name=REPLACE(column_name,char(13),'')
