If you want to quickly and easily remove all blank rows in selection, active sheet, selected sheets or the whole workbook without any wrong deletion，you can try the Delete Blank Rows tool of Kutools for Excel, which can handle jobs with one click without VBA code and helper column.
However, before you using this tool, you need to free installing Kutools for Excel firstly.
Click Kutools > Delete > Delete Blank Rows, then in the sub drop-down list, choose one operation as you need.

Sub DeleteBlankRows()
'Update 20190107
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
xRows = WorkRng.Rows.Count
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For I = xRows To 1 Step -1
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(WorkRng.Rows(I)) = 0 Then
WorkRng.Rows(I).EntireRow.Delete XlDeleteShiftDirection.xlShiftUp
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

With this VBA code, you’d better remove blank rows in a range but not in the whole worksheet, or Microsoft Excel may get stuck.
1. Insert one column before your data range, take inserting Column A as instance, then type this formula =B3&C3&D3 into A3 to combine data in row3, see screenshot:
Tip: If your data across Column B3 to Column N, adjust the formula to =B3&C3&D3&E3&…&N3.
2. Then fill the formula to cells by dragging the auto fill handle down.
3. Then click Data > Filter.
4. Then click the Filter icon at the helper column, check Blanks option only in the drop-down list. See screenshot:
5. Click OK, the all blank rows have been filtered out.
6. Select the filtered rows, click Home > Delete > Delete Sheet Rows to remove the blank rows.
7. Then click Data > Filter again to disable Filter function.
