What exactly does "delete" mean? Do you want the row to disappear, or the column, or that the elements are move to the left and the empty matrix is inserted at the right?
Because the resulting cell matrix must be still rectangular, "delete" is not well defined yet.

EDIT
out = result(all(~cellfun(@(x)isempty(x) | strcmp(x,'neutral'),result),2),:);
or
out = result(~any(cellfun(@(x)isempty(x) | strcmp(x,'neutral'),result),2),:);
