You need to ensure that the index for deletion is the correct index. When you delete a row all bellow rows has their indexes changed -1. So try this code:

if (dataCopy1.length > 0) {
var i = 1;

while (i < DATA_SHEET.getMaxRows() - deleted_rows) {
 if ((dataCopy1[i][FIRST_COLUMN]).search(value_to_check) != -1) {

   ss.deleteRow(i - deleted_rows);
  deleted_rows++;
 } 
i++;
}
}
