if the column_vector is a cell array as in the example provided, then the '' character is not a character at all, but an empty string which is detected by isempty. See Azzi's answer.
if the column_vector is a truly a column vector, it is a char array. Then the '' character may very well be a character which can be removed according to James' answer.
Using proper terminology helps in getting the right answer.

s={'' ;12;'';'5 '; '6';' abc';'rt';;''}
s(cellfun(@isempty,s))=[]
