Excel does this thing when you clear the cells in a row, the rows remain behind.. We call them ghost records.

To recreate, add data randomly to a sheet, then select the cells (not rows) and click delete
Now, select the the entire sheet and F5 ... "Special.. Blanks. and these rows will be selected

My question is, how can I use conditional formatting to highlight those rows?

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
This example uses CF to highlight blank cells among data-containing cells. Is this what you want?
