Deleting Worksheets

If you find that you have a worksheet you no longer need, or if you plan to use only one worksheet of the three that Excel puts into each workbook by default, you can remove the unwanted worksheets. Here's how you remove a worksheet:

1. Select the worksheet(s) you want to delete.

2. Select the Edit menu and then select Delete Sheet .

3. If the sheet contains data, a dialog box appears, asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Delete to delete the sheet. You will lose any data that the sheet contained.

You can delete multiple sheets if you want. Use the techniques discussed earlier in this lesson to select multiple sheets, and then use steps 2 and 3 in this section to delete the sheets.
