GVim - pattern not found: ^ M when trying to delete a new line

I work with gVim on Windows, and when I open files edited by others, I see ^ M instead of new lines. I tried to use %s/^M/\n/gto replace all instances of ^ M with a new line, but I keep getting the error: pattern not found: ^ M. I also tried %s/^M/\r/g, but get the same error.

There are several more instances of the ^ M file in the file, why can't Vim identify them?

Click CTRL Vbefore clicking CTRL Mon your lookup command.

This allows you to avoid the following control sequence.

Here are some links I found on googling vim remove control m:
