stata - How can I remove all missing values?

How can I delete all missing values from my dataset? I work in Stata and have 7 variables.

How can I remove all missing values, in order to keep only observations that have values for all variables and all the years that I want to use?

For example, my dataset contains roughly 6000 rows, and one variable is employees; some rows have 0 employees, which is impossible, I need to remove these full rows (so all the other variable values in that same row too...)

Zero does not count as missing in Stata. But a specific criterion for that problem is

drop if employees == 0 

Otherwise

egen nmissing = rowmiss(*) 
drop if nmissing 
drop nmissing
