This filter not only can erase each other row or column of the active layer but also can change them to the background color.

This filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Distorts → Erase Every Other Row….

Figure 17.45. “Erase Every Other row” options

These options are self-explanatory. Only one remark: if the active layer has an Alpha channel, erased rows or columns will be transparent. If it doesn't have an Alpha channel (then its name is in bold letters in the Layer Dialog), the Background color of the toolbox will be used.
