I like to use the following.  SpecialCells limits itself to the UsedRange of
your worksheet.  Therefore, it will not be wasting time deleting rows to the
bottom of the worksheet.  In other words, the blank cells outside the used
range are not selected / deleted to save time.

    On Error Resume Next     ' In case there are no blanks
    Columns("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange 'Resets UsedRange for Excel 97
