Removing all non-ascii characters from a workflow (file)

How would I remove all non-ascii characters from one file? Would there be a specific command to perform this?
grep --colour='auto' -P -n'[^x00-x7]' /usr/local/...
I believe this finds the characters within the workflow, but how would I remove all the instances of the characters in question?

ASCII characters are characters in the range from 0 to 177 (octal) inclusively.
To delete characters outside of this range in a file, use
tr -dc '-177' <file >newfile
tr is a utility that works on single characters, either substituting them with other single characters (transliteration), deleting them, or deleting runs of the same character.
The command above would read from file and write the modified content to newfile. The -d option to tr makes the utility delete characters (instead of transliterating them), and -c makes it consider characters outside the given interval (instead of inside).
To replace the original file with the modified one, use
tr -dc '-177' <file >newfile && mv newfile file
This renames the new file to the name of the old file after tr has completed successfully. If tr does not complete successfully, either because it could not read the original file or not write to the new file, the original file will be left unchanged.
