Try this code to delete all the Buttons, and only the Buttons, (from the
Form Toolbar) instead...

Sub DeleteButtons()
Dim S As Shape
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
On Error GoTo SkipIt
For Each S In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If S.FormControlType = xlButtonControl Then S.Delete
NextShape:
Next
On Error GoTo 0
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
Exit Sub
SkipIt:
Err.Clear
Resume NextShape
End Sub

Note 1: Notice that with this code, you do not have to list each button
individually.

Note 2: I left the DisplayAlerts statements out as I didn't see why you
needed them and I used the exact Protection statements as you posted them
(assuming they were correct for your setup).

I inadvertently created a bunch of buttons on a sheet. I first tried
manually deleting them one by one but there are hundreds of them. I
found this code and ammended it to delete each button one by one, but
I keep running into a runtime error because I've deleted some of the
buttons out of sequence and it looks to actually run each line whether
the button number is there or not.

Is there a way that I can delete all buttons on a page regardless of
the number?

Sub DeleteButtons()
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 595").Select
Selection.Cut
' *** I ommitted the code for buttons 594 thru 2 so that I could post
here, but it's the same***
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Select
Selection.Cut
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True _
, AllowFiltering:=True
End Sub
