According to the picture, it seems you're using Notepad++.

This will remove all linebreak that is followed by another linebreak:

Explanation:

\R      # any kind of linebreak (ie. \r, \n, \r\n)
(?=\R)  # positive lookahead, make sure we have another linebreak after

Or, if you have installed TextFX plugin

TextX  > TextFX Edit > Delete blank lines

Here is a general solution which may work for you:

Find: ^$
Replace: (empty)

This will target all lines having nothing on them except for a newline character. Then, it replaces them with nothing, effectively removing them.
