Windows Explorer. Select the spreadsheet file. Hit the Delete button (or
right-click, and select Delete). -- David Biddulph "Amy" wrote in message ... Hope this doesn't sound too dumb, but I trying to relearn what little I did know. I can't seem to find a way to delete a whole spreadsheet including what it was saved as. PLEASE help. -- ajw |

deleting a spreadsheet
Which version of Windows are you using? As a third possible way, if you
select the file in windows Explorer, does the File menu give you a Delete option? Are you sure that you are not looking at reduced menu options? Look out for a "More" at the bottom of your abbreviated menu. -- David Biddulph "Amy" wrote in message ... I still don't get it. It doesn't give me delete as a selection.

Open Excel, click File, Open, Select the workbook file, (don't open it),
press the Delete button on your keyboard. File is gone, Amy wrote: I still don't get it. It doesn't give me delete as a selection. Thanks for any more help you can give. |

deleting a spreadsheet
It did delete the file. However, it is still list on the spreadsheet file
menu and it won't go away and I don't want all these files still listed there..if they are gone this is too confusing . How do I get rid of that file name that has been deleted?

deleting a spreadsheet
If you are talking about the "recently used file list", you can clear that
from Tools/ Options/ General. If you deselect the list it will be cleared, then you can start a new list. -- David Biddulph "Amy" wrote in message ... It did delete the file.

Set the file list count to one less than the location of the file you
deleted, or turn it off and back on to completely wipe the list. Amy wrote: It did delete the file.
