@Kusalananda, are you sure? sed --posix 's/\d26//g' works.

With any other sed implementation, s/\d26//g would delete all instances of the literal string d26. Using --posix does not disable extensions in GNU sed's regular expression library.

The second solution use both sed and tr when tr is good enougth by itself: tr -d '\032' <file >newfile.
