def remove_empty_fields(data_):
    """
        Recursively remove all empty fields from a nested
        dict structure. Note, a non-empty field could turn
        into an empty one after its children deleted.
        
        E.g,
        
        {
            "location": {
                "city": "",
                "state": None,

            "name": "Nick's Caffee"
        }

        :param data_: A dict or list.
        :return: Data after cleaning.
