Thanks for your help but it says "No cells were found" even though
cell contains no formulae or value.
What did I do wrong? T.T

Are you sure you selected "blanks" from the Goto Special dialog?

Did those "empty" cells used to contain formulas that evaluated to =""?
And then did you convert those formulas to values?
If yes, then try this first...
Saved from a previous post:
If you want to see what's left in that cell after you convert ="" to values,
try:
Tools|Options|Transition Tab|Toggle Transition Navigation keys on.
Then select one of those cells and look at the formula bar. You'll see an
apostrophe. (Don't forget to toggle the setting to off.)
When I want to clean up this detritus, I do this:
Select the range (ctrl-a a few times to select all the cells)
Edit|Replace
what: (leave blank)
with: $$$$$
replace all
Immediately followed by:
Edit|Replace
what: $$$$$
with: (leave blank)
replace all

Another option... Ctrl+F > Find All > Ctrl+A.
Leaving the find box blank will select cells containing "".
Select these cells and then Edit > Delete.
