What Delete Empty TSV Rows can do:

Delete Empty TSV Rows makes it easy to clean up tab-separated data without using a script or spreadsheet. If you’ve ever dealt with a dataset that’s cluttered with blank lines or rows full of spaces, this tool helps you get rid of them in seconds. You can fine-tune how it detects empty rows using two smart toggles one for trimming extra spaces and one for strict empty-row deletion.

It’s perfect for cleaning exported data, preparing TSVs for processing, or making sure downstream tools don’t choke on extra empty lines. The live preview lets you experiment freely and the counter shows exactly how many rows remain.

Example:

Input:

name	age
Alice	30
	
Bob	25

Options Enabled:

  • Trim cell whitespace: ON
  • Only delete fully empty rows: OFF

Output:

name	age
Alice	30
Bob	25

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to clean TSV exports from data-entry tools, web forms, or databases that include trailing rows. It’s also handy when importing TSVs into systems that break on empty lines or when prepping files for machine learning workflows that expect uniform structure.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After you Delete Empty TSV Rows, use Count TSV Rows to confirm what’s left and make sure nothing extra was removed. And if you’re doing cleanup across the board, Trim TSV Columns helps tidy up the remaining data.
