I have the following code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\framebox{\begin{tikzpicture}[color=black, line width=0.4mm]
\draw (0,0) rectangle (5mm,5mm);
\end{tikzpicture}}
\end{document}
Result is
The question is: How to remove margins around the box in tikzpicture environment?
I don't really get the question so I hope this is what you wanted. If you include a full document (such that we copy paste and see the problem on our systems) things are much more easier.
Here, you can change the default setting within a scope but your block style had a node distance which was resetting every time it is issued. I've made it 2mm such that we can see the difference easier.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes.geometric,positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[decision/.style={diamond, draw, text width=4.5em, text badly centered, node distance=3.5cm, inner sep=0pt},
block/.style ={rectangle, draw, text width=6em, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em, minimum height=2em},
cloud/.style ={draw, ellipse, minimum height=2em},
line/.style ={draw,-latex'},
node distance = 1cm,
auto]
\node [block] (1st) {1st};
\node [block, right= of 1st] (2nd1) {2nd1};
\begin{scope}[node distance=2mm and 10mm]%Here we change it for everything inside this scope
\node [block, above= of 2nd1] (2nd2) {2nd2};
\node [block, below= of 2nd1] (2nd3) {2nd3};
\node [block, right= of 2nd1] (3rd1) {3rd1};
\node [block, above= of 3rd1] (3rd2) {3rd2};
\node [block, above= of 3rd2] (3rd3) {3rd3};
\end{scope}
\node [block, below= of 3rd1] (3rd4) {3rd4};
\node [block, below= of 3rd4] (3rd5) {3rd5};
\path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd2);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd3);
\path [line] (2nd2) -- (3rd3);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (3rd1);
\path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Improved version:
\tikzmark is used to set marks at the beginning and end of the text that will be boxed. The main command is
\BoxedText[<options>]{<start-mark>}{<end-mark>}
The optional argument can be used to pass options to the \draw command used internally (by default, just a frame is drawn, but you can fill it, or change the line width, or apply any other desired valid modification):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

The code must be run three times.
Best Answer
You can also use the
\framemacro instead which draws a tight frame around it. For special content inside nodes, e.g. verbatim, I recommend the\Framemacro from my recentrealboxespackage.
