Optimize performance of Removing Hidden Rows in VBA - performance

Question

I am using the following code to remove hidden/filtered lines after applying autofilters to a big sheet in VBA (big means roughly 30,000 rows):
Sub RemoveHiddenRows()
Dim oRow As Range, rng As Range
Dim myRows As Range
With Sheets("Sheet3")
Set myRows = Intersect(.Range("A:A").EntireRow, .UsedRange)
If myRows Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
End With
For Each oRow In myRows.Columns(1).Cells
If oRow.EntireRow.Hidden Then
If rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = oRow
Else
Set rng = Union(rng, oRow)
End If
End If
Next
If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub
The code comes from here: Delete Hidden/Invisible Rows after Autofilter Excel VBA
Moreover I read this thread: Speeding Up Code that Removes Hidden Rows on a Sheet
The situation: I have applied 5 different filters to a table consisting of 12 columns, therefore a lot of rows are filtered out (hidden) after the process. When I try to delete those, the code above takes a very long time. In my case I don't know if Excel was still working, so I had to force an exit. That leads to the following question:
Is there any other way than looping through all the hidden rows and deleting them?
An idea which came to my mind was to copy only the remaining unfiltered (that is non-hidden) content to a new sheet and afterwards delete the old sheet, which contains the full information. If so, how can that be done?

Answer 1

I don't think you need to involve another worksheet. Simply copy the rows below the existing Range.CurrentRegion property and then remove the filter and delete the original data.
Sub RemoveHiddenRows()
With Sheets("Sheet10")
With .Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
With .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count)
If CBool(Application.Subtotal(103, .Columns(1))) Then
.Cells.Copy Destination:=.Cells(.Rows.Count + 1, 1)
End If
.AutoFilter
.Cells(1, 1).Resize(.Rows.Count, 1).EntireRow.Delete
End With
End With
End With
End Sub

You can improve performance significantly with a function like this:
Option Explicit
Public Sub deleteHiddenRows(ByRef ws As Worksheet)
Dim rngData As Range, rngVisible As Range, rngHidden As Range
With ws
Set rngData = .UsedRange
With rngData
Set rngVisible = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Set rngHidden = .Columns(1)
End With
End With
If Not (rngVisible Is Nothing) Then
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
' invert hidden / visible
rngHidden.Rows.Hidden = False
rngVisible.Rows.Hidden = True
' delete hidden and show visible
rngData.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Delete
rngVisible.Rows.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
I tested it on a file with 2 filters applied to it
The function was adapted from the code in this suggestion
