Try opening xl in safe mode.

Do you get the prompt then?

The warning message appears in my 2002 and 2003 versions.

Either right-click and delete or delete sheet from toolbar or Insert menu.

Maybe you have customized your "Delete Sheet" button or menu item.

You could use a macro to delete the sheet.

But I would bet it would take as long to run the macro as it would to answer the
prompt.

Another option is to upgrade your version of excel. xl2003 doesn't have the
prompt anymore. (Not sure when it was removed, though...xl2002???).

Every time delete a sheet, I get a system alert saying "Data may exist in the
sheet(s) selected for deletion. To permanently delete the data, press
Delete". It's a bit annoying when you have to delete many sheets and you
don't want to select multiple sheets. Is there any possibility to disable
this alert?
