Thank you both. The URLs with TM are indexed by Google with TM in it, I suspect it will have impact on ranking if we simply remove the TM from URL, although nothing else changes. 301 is a protection, to certain extent.
Happy Easter.

Hello community!
We are planning to clean up TM and R in the URLs on the website. Google has indexed these pages but some TM pages are have " " " instead displaying in URL from SERP. What's your thoughts on a "spring cleaning" effort to remove all TM and R and other unsafe characters in URLs? Will this impact indexed pages and ranking etc?
Thank you!
