You may delete first cell in second column with shifting cells up. After that you have empty every second row. To remove them select both columns, when Home->Filter&Select->Go to Special. Here select Blanks->Ok. After that Home->Delete->Delete Sheet Rows.
Play on the copy of your data first.
The actual file is something like this:
There could be two values in second column corresponding to one value in the first column:
\\contoso.com\testDFS\example \\server1\example \\server2\example \\contoso.com\testDFS\example1 \\server1\example1 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example2 \\server3\example2 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example3 \\server2\example3 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example4 \\server3\example4 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example5 \\server3\example4 I want the end result to look like this:
\\contoso.com\testDFS\example \\server1\example \\contoso.com\testDFS\example \\server2\example \\contoso.com\testDFS\example1 \\server1\example1 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example2 \\server3\example2 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example3 \\server2\example3 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example4 \\server3\example4 \\contoso.com\testDFS\example5 \\server3\example4 Attaching the file.

Thanks it is working fine. However where the data in the sheet ends, i.e. the last row, it has copied the same value in hundreds of rows like below where there was no data before:
\\contoso.com\testDFS\example5 \\server3\example4 There were say 1000 rows and it has copied the same value as shown above till row: 1792
