-trim()- only removes leading and trailing blanks. To remove embedded blanks you will need to use something like -subinstr()-.
Are you talking about variable labels or value labels? If variable labels, then something along the lines of
foreach v of varlist _all {
label var `v' "`=subinstr("`: var lab `v''"," ","",.)'"
}
should remove all embedded blanks from all variable labels (which may be a little overkill!) - to limit to certain variables change the -_all- to the varlist you want changed.
Something along similar lines ought to work for value labels.

I am trying trim but it is not working.
