All the blanks?

=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

Lots of cells and permanently - Select range and use Edit / Replace,
replacing space with nothing.

Hi Ray,
When posting please include the question in the text body.

Not everything that appears to be a space is a space, frequently
when copying from HTML you will copy a non-breaking space
character ( ) or char(160) also known as a required blank (RBL)
in some places.
