Well, I think the docs are clear enough:

"Deletes return characters from a string. "

Yes, I would use a regex for this. Be aware that we have some common
ones already done in the language, and at cflib.org. Example - if you
want to escape html, use htmlEditFormat or htmlCodeFormat. If you want
to remove the HTML, there is a UDF for this at cflib.org.
