I suspect that you're just deleting the contents of the rows rather than the
rows themselves. If you select a row and press Delete, you're just emptying
the row. To delete it you have to either press Backspace (recent versions)
or right-click and choose Delete Rows. If you are not displaying table
gridlines, do that so you can see what's going on.
