Choose the settings
For the recorded example, use these settings: Clean-up mode: Clean all spacing.

Apply and inspect the result
Select Remove Extra Spaces From Text when the input and settings are ready. In the saved example, the result begins: "First line".
Whitespace may be meaningful in code, aligned tables or indented quotations. Choose the narrowest cleanup and review those areas.
Result overview compares Spaces, Tabs and Lines before and after the selected cleanup. These totals help distinguish changes within a line from removal of blank lines.
Result overview distinguishes changed, unchanged and empty results. An unchanged result means the selected operation did not alter the text; an empty result can be the expected outcome of removal or extraction. Line totals include a trailing empty line; an empty result has zero lines. Open Show spaces and tabs to reveal spaces as ·, tabs as ⇥ and line endings as ↵. These marks are only a preview; copied and downloaded text keeps its actual whitespace. The whitespace preview shows at most 12,000 Unicode code points. This preview limit does not shorten the editable result or its TXT download.
