What i interpreted from your question is that you have a file in which the text is somewhat as shown

\n
sdsdjfsjnfj \n asdmkasmdkamdk \n
sdmfksdmfksd \n
\n
masdkak \n
\n

and now you want to replace the " \n" with ""
so you can try the search and replace command i.e
:%s/ \\n//g
I tried this on solaris and it worked fine.
