Remove colour code special characters from bash file

I have a bash script that runs and outputs to a text file however the colour codes it uses are also included what i'd like to know is how to remove them from the file, ie

^[[38;1;32mHello^[[39m
^[[38;1;31mUser^[[39m

so I just want to be left with Hello and User, so something like sed -r "special characters" from file A save to file B

Some like this:

awk '{sub(/\^\[\[38;1;[0-9][0-9]m/,x);sub(/\^\[\[39m/,x)}1'
