You tried: ^\s* , that is: "Any expression that starts with zero or more spaces". In your case, that won't match anything since this line starts with the [ character. Instead, try using \s* as expression. That will remove any spaces within your document.
Remove blank lines (no whitespaces) First you need to open the file with Notepad++. Once the document is loaded, select Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines. Voilà, every single blank lines has been deleted.
To delete all spaces in the file, replace ' +' with '' (quotes only for demonstration, please remove them). You need to have the checkbox "Regular expression" checked.
To remove all spaces and tabs, replace '[ \t]+' with '' (remove quotes).
This works for big files, too, where the solution of @Learner will be tiresome.

No need for regular expressions. In Find what add a whitespace character and then replace with nothing.

Press Shift+Alt then press the down button before "56". Then backspace. You will see the cursor becomes big and then you can remove the spaces all at once.
