How is the macro ?

Copy the code below and paste it into your macro. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.

Sub test()
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' change xxx by the table name
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("xxx")
For i = .ListRows.Count To 1 Step -1
If .ListRows(i).Range.Cells(1) = "" Then
.ListRows(i).delete
End If
Next i
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

However, this code is not very effective if I have a huge amount of empty rows to delete. In such situation, I use this one:

Sub test()
' change xxx by the table name and yyy by the ID column where empty cells (A = 1, etc.)
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("xxx").Range.AutoFilter Field:=yyy, Criteria1:="="
Rows("2:2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.delete Shift:=xlUp
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("xxx").Range.AutoFilter Field:=yyy
End Sub
