Is there any way i can use less code to do this?

What you mean "less code"?
You need to create an instance of Excel application, open a document, delete row, close a document...

Hi, have a try with the following codes:

C#

Excel.Application myApp;
           Excel.Workbook myWorkBook;
           Excel.Worksheet myWorkSheet;
           Excel.Range range;
           myApp = new Excel.Application();
           myWorkBook = myApp.Workbooks.Open("D:\\test.xls", 0, true, 5, "", "", true, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", false, false   , 0, true, 1, 0);
           myWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)myWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
           range = (Excel.Range)myWorkSheet.Application.Rows[1, Type.Missing];
           range.Select();
           range.Delete(Excel.XlDirection.xlUp);
           myWorkBook.Close(true);
           myApp.Quit();

Note using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; and release the object finally.
