x = {'xy','yz',nan}
x(cellfun(@(x) any(isnan(x)),x)) = []

cellfun will loop each cell for you to check whether a cell is nan or not, but it does not preserve the dimension. So you need to reshape it back at the end.

Another approach, which remove all non-strings: x = x(cellfun('isclass', x, 'char'))
