Since you want to consolidate multiple spaces into one space, and then remove characters that are not words or spaces, you should do it in two separate regex substitutions:

print(re.sub(r'[^0-9a-zA-Z ]+', '', re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', s)))

This outputs:

apple new A

You want 'apple new A' for the result, right?

s="____Ç_apple___   _______new A_____"

result = re.sub('[^a-zA-Z|\s]+', '', s)  # apple   new A
result = ' '.join(result.split())  # apple new A
print(result)
