Are rows with only spaces removed?

Yes. A row is considered empty if every cell is empty or whitespace.

Are partially empty rows removed?

No. A row with at least one value is kept; missing cells stay empty.

Does this also fix ragged rows?

Ragged rows are handled separately: extra cells go into extra_col_n and missing cells are left empty, with a note explaining it.

Yes, once the page is loaded the cleanup works without a network connection.

Remove empty rows from a CSV

Files exported from spreadsheets often carry blank rows that break imports. Turn on Remove Empty Rows and any row whose cells are all empty — including rows of only spaces — disappears from the preview and the export.

The count of removed rows is shown as a badge, so you can confirm the cleanup before downloading.
