Default Delete columns if a cell is empty

I have a table where I'd like to delete one or more columns if certain cells
are empty. I found some code that will delete the entire table but is there
anything I can do to delete a column?

Default Delete columns if a cell is empty

Select the column(s) you want to delete, then press the Backspace key.
Unlike the Delete key, the Backspace key will actually remove the selected
column(s) rather than simply deleting the contents. This works even if the
cells contain data, by the way.
