NA rows appeared in data.frame

Dear All,

After replacing some values in a data.frame, NAs rows have appeared
and cannot be removed. I have googled these issues and found that
several people have encountered it. Solutions in stackoverflow seem to
provide work-arounds but does not remove it from the data.frame.
Therefore, I am turning to experts in this community for help.

The code is as follows,
Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width   Species
NA              NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.1            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.2            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.3            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
111            6.5         3.2          5.1           2 virginica
114            5.7         2.5          5.0           2 virginica
NA.4            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
122            5.6         2.8          4.9           2 virginica
123            7.7         2.8          6.7           2 virginica
NA.5            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.6            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.7            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.8            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
132            7.9         3.8          6.4           2 virginica
NA.9            NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
NA.10           NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
148            6.5         3.0          5.2           2 virginica
NA.11           NA          NA           NA          NA      <NA>
