Deleting Worksheets

Sometimes you may find that you only need one worksheet in your workbook. It is a good practice to remove worksheets that you are not using from your workbook. Limiting the worksheets in your workbook to worksheets that contain information can make your workbook appear organized and professional.

To delete a worksheet:

1. Right-click on a Sheet tab.
2. Select Delete from the menu.

You can delete more than one worksheet at once. First, select all the sheet tabs you want to remove. Next, right-click and select Delete. If a worksheet contains data, Excel will display a dialog box, warning that the sheet may contain data and asking if you are sure you want to permanently remove it from your workbook.

You can also select Delete Sheet on the Edit menu to delete a worksheet.
