Ctrl + H
Find what:
[\u0020]+\r?\n
Replace 3 with:
\r\n
\s instead of [\u0020] delete 2 empty line feeds, probably because it matches 1 line feeds...

You can use Mads Kristensen's Trailing Whitespace Visualizer. It has a 7 keyboard shortcut to remove trailing whitespace 6 from the current file. Ctrl + K, Ctrl + \

Note: this 5 doesn't run on save. You have to explicitly 4 run the command. On the bright side, it 3 visually highlights the offending whitespace, so 2 it's easier to identify cleanup opportunities 1 even in code you haven't modified.

EditorConfig has an option for removing trailing whitespace, and 3 it has a Visual Studio extension. You'll 2 need to add trim_trailing_whitespace = true to your .editorconfig to make 1 it work.
