You have to delete any general/standard modules as well.

If you had code in the sheet/thisworkbook modules, you need to go to each of
them then do Ctrl+A, then delete, then close that module.

Now save the workbook.

How do I purge an excel file of all macros? I still receive the macro
security warning when opening a file after I previously deleted all the
macros.
