This tutorial explains how to delete or hide multiple blank rows in Google Sheets.
Yes, Google Sheets has a built-in option to delete/hide all or only selected rows in a particular spreadsheet. However, it is not handy when some of the cells in selected rows have values because that data also gets deleted. But, here is a very useful Google Sheets add-on, named Remove Blank Rows, which lets you delete or hide only those rows that have all the cells empty.
So for example, if from the selection, row 2 is empty and row 3 and 4 have some empty cells and some cells with values, then it will delete row 2 only. This will save your data and also clean your Google Sheet intelligently.
Apart from this, it also provides an option to delete rows only if selected cells in rows are empty.
The screenshot above shows the rows deleted by this add-on that had empty cells.
If you have to remove empty cells from your sheet, you should check this add-on.
