Considering we have:

acs = <|"A" -> <|"a" -> "    ", "aa" -> "asd"|>, "B" -> <|"bb" -> "  "|>|>

How can we come to have a result as:

res = <|"A" -> <| "aa" -> "asd"|>|>

Thanks!

Here is a solution, based on pattern matching in the list of rules of the association:

acs //. x_Association :> Normal[x]
DeleteCases[ %, (key_->val_String) /; StringMatchQ[val, " "..], Infinity]
DeleteCases[ %, _->{}]
% /. List->Association

(*
{A->{a->    ,aa->asd},B->{bb->  }}
{A->{aa->asd},B->{}}
{A->{aa->asd}}
<|A-><|aa->asd|>|>
*)
