Thanks guys. I think it may just be the way that linux does things. When I edit in nano, it shows the line, but nothing changes when I delete it.
Cat does not show the extra line at all anyway.
If I edit it in windows in notepad++, then it shows and can be deleted resulting in the lowering of the file size by one byte.
Thank you all.

No, I dont use cygwin. I use windows at home and modify a remote vps server using winscp, putty, notepad++, nano etc.
