删除从 emacs 中复制粘贴添加的选项卡

Question

when i copy text in emacs sometimes it breaks the indentation adding extra tabs. for example if i copy the output from the command

curl api.test.org | python -mjson.tool

and paste it in the emacs the json format breaks.

i am looking for a way to select the whole text and delete the tabs. A small piece of this looks like this

»       »       »       »       ················"settings":·[$
»       »       »       »       »       »       ················{$                                                                                                                                                                           
»       »       »       »       »       »       »       »       ····················"key":·"+ASSET_1",$
»       »       »       »       »       »       »       »       »       »       ························"value":·"runtest-files-%HDD_1%.tar.gz"$

i tried delete-indentation but it is something different. And the untabify will just replave the tabs with spaces. Any ideas?
