No instance of overloaded function for std::string .erase()

I want to implement a function to read a user input that return a std::string. I also wish to remove the carriage return before returning the string, just in case something goes wrong (has a carriage return).

std::string getInput() {
   std::string str = "";
   std::cout << "> ";

   std::getline(std::cin, str);

   if (std::cin.eof()) {
      quitGame();
   }

   str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), '\r'), str.end());

   return str;
}

The error comes on the str.erase, it states no instance of overloaded function but I believe I have provided enough headers and matched the parameters of the function?

Could someone please help me out? Am I missing anything here?
