i was using the following set of lines in python to do the objective but to no use

new_str = str.replace(r'\\xa', '')

but the output is same

I think you are trying to replace the unicode character '\xa0' -

s = 'FF 6 VRV AVENUE SUBRAMANIYAM PALAYAM PinCode:-\xa0641034' 
s = s.replace('\xa0', '') 
print(s)
#'FF 6 VRV AVENUE SUBRAMANIYAM PALAYAM PinCode:-641034'
