Think around the other way.
Open existing image file.
create new giving you an empty file and canvas of the same size.
cut top 'half' using rectangular select tool.
Paste into empty canvas and position appropriately.
Cut bottom 'half' from original image leaving out what you don't want.
Paste into canvas which has the top 'half' and position appropriately.
Crop unused and empty image area.
Save.

Thanks, as you can guess, graphical manipulations aren't my thing! I think I
can also use convert -chop, but the 4 numbers following the chop are complete
gibberish! I'm putting in random numbers to see what happens at the moment.
More fun than using a mouse in my book. Well, this may be a new, localised
redefinition of the word 'fun'

That looks more like self torture to me. Slight variation on Volker's
suggestion...
load the file into gimp.
immediately save it under a new name to protect the original
Select the bottom portion which you want to keep
use the cursor keys to move the selection upwards pixel row by row
(it may pay to enlarge the image for this step if you want precision)
Save it when happy
I do something similar quite often
