Trying to replace a double paragraph mark, with a single

I am working on a very long document and I want to convert double paragraph marks into only one. You can see in the attached example there is a paragraph character after the "such" and then another one directly underneath.

My aim is to just have the one after the "such" without another one directly underneath.

I thought I could do a bulk replace finding ^v^v and replacing it with ^v

That doesn't seem to work though. Is there any advice on how I can do this?
