How to remove Nans from matrix

I have a matrix (size 123317x6), and every 128 rows I have 3 nans on the last three columns of that thoses rows. Now what I want to do is remove all the NaNs completely without removing that row or column (just the NanNs) The data on the next row then needs to be moved up to where the Nans were. I will give you a quick example.
so I want this matrix:-
M=
1 3 6 nan nan nan 4 5 4 1 3 4 1 2 2 6 3 1 1 3 4 nan nan nan 3 4 5 6 7 8
M=
1 3 6 4 5 4 1 3 4 1 2 2 6 3 1 1 3 4 3 4 5 6 7 8
Hope this example explains what I want better!
Any help would be greatly appreicated.

out=reshape(M(~isnan(M)),[],size(M,2))
Edit
M can not be reshaped unless we add some nan at the end of M
%---------Your array-------------------
M=rand(123317,6);
M(128:128:n,end-2:end)=nan;
%-----------------------------------------
n=size(M,1);
M=M(~isnan(M));
M(end:end+mod(6-mod(numel(M),6),6))=nan;
M=reshape(M,[],6);

I like your answer more than mine. There is however a small mistake, it should be:
out=reshape(M(~isnan(M)),[],size(M,2)-3)

out = resM(M==M)
ADD
M1 = M';
out = reshape(M1(M1==M1),size(M,2),[])';

If it are exactly 3 NaN's per row, you could do something like this:
M = [1 3 6 nan nan nan 4 5 4 1 3 4 1 2 2;
6 3 1 1 3 4 nan nan nan 3 4 5 6 7 8];
M_new = zeros(size(M,1), size(M,2)-3);
for ii = 1:size(M,1)
M_new(ii,:) = M(ii,~isnan( M(ii,:)));
end
