'Remove certain character from column values

I have a table that has multiple columns and all the string in that column starts and ends with a semicolon.

following is the table

ID             Name
"sdadsa"       "Something" 
"sdadsa"       "Something2" 
"sdadsa"       "Something" 

I want a SQL query that can remove all these double quotes from the SQL table and should look like.

ID             Name
sdadsa       Something 
sdadsa       Something2 
sdadsa       Something

There's is built-in functions you can use to achieve it

update table set Name = right(left(Name,LEN(Name)-1),len(Name)-2) where Name like '"%"'

same for Id

update table set Id = right(left(Id,LEN(Id)-1),len(Id)-2) where Id like '"%"'
