I think the problem is the quoting for the search string:

You need to double quote the single quote (apostrophy): "'"



---------------EDIT-----------------

I just realized that will not work, as the double quote is needed here to quote names, so thus need single quotes for string. SO, you need to escape the single quote with another single quote

Code:

REPLACE("Name",'''','')
