You can either use Search & Replace or the specialized plugin.

To use Search & Replace, use menu Search -> Replace, click Multi Line, hit enter twice in Search for field and leave Replace with field empty.

To use the plugin, use menu Plugins -> Manage Plugins, go to Plugin Catalog tab, install Remove Empty Lines by pmk65. After that you can use it from menu Plugins -> Remove Empty Lines.

Thanks the plugin worked although it takes while on large files :D

The find and replace method leaves me with more of a minified file which isn't what I wanted.

I made an update a while ago, but haven't bothered updating the filelink as there was no feedback. (Without feedback, I have to assume that people don't use the plugin. And as such they don't need/want updates.)

But send me a PM if you are interested in testing the new version.

The new version does the replacement in one take, without looping over each line. So it should be MUCH faster than the old version. ;)
