%s/\t/ /g
A leading colon is OK but not necessary. See
:help 41.1
In a Vim regular expression, a tab can be represented as \t. See
:help /\t
Depending on why and how you want to replace tabs by spaces, you may
want to take a look at
:help :retab
:help 'expandtab'

%s/^\s\+$//
See
:help /^
:help /\+
