They won't "go away".
Each worksheet comes with 65,536 rows and 256 columns.
If you don't use them (formatting as well as putting something in them) your workbook will
ignore them when saving.
In other words Excel will keep track of what you have used.

Hello,

I'm setting up a Sales Journal in Excel. I only need 50-60 rows and the
document I have open and set up has over 65,000 rows. And...of course....the
totals for the columns appear at the very bottom (row 65,000+)

So....how do I get rid of all those rows??? I've tried to highlight and
delete but they don't go away?????

As always....thanks for your help!
