Try:
You can click on one or more column letters or one or more row numbers in the frame area, and click on Edit on the menu bar. Select the option of Delete and the highlighted column or row would be deleted. These columns or rows can be empty or contain information.

If all the rows containing data have data in a certain Column you could write a quick little macro to erase all rows that do not contain data in that cell

For i = Worksheets(1).UsedRange.End(xlDown).Row To 1 Step -1
'Is the cell at (row i, column 1) empty
If Cells(i, 1).Value = "" Then
Cells(i, 1).Delete
End If
Next

Here's a method that checks to make sure the entire row is empty:
