Microsoft Excel supports a large number of data cells (well over a million), but when you are performing calculations or building up a complex spreadsheet, unneeded data cells can get in the way and distract you from what you are doing. You can delete these cells with just a few clicks of your mouse.
1. Open your Excel project.
2. Left-click and drag the mouse across the cell or cells that you want to delete.
3. Press the "Delete" key to remove the cells.
- Get rid of entire columns or rows by right-clicking on the column or row header and clicking "Delete." This removes all cells in that column or now.
