M-x customize-variable RET indent-tabs-mode RET
Set it to Off/nil
"Save for future sessions"
Now you can't add tabs when editing files.
If your emacs doesn't support customize, put
(setq-default 'indent-tabs-mode nil)
in your .emacs file.
To remove tabs and save: M-< C-> M-x untabify RET C-x C-s
Alternatively, add the following to your .emacs file:
(defun untabify-and-save-buffer ()
(interactive)
(untabify 1 (buffer-size))
(save-buffer))
(define-key global-map [(control x) (control s)] 'untabify-and-save-buffer)
If you don't use XEmacs, you might need to change the "define-key" call to
something else.
