You can't physically remove them but you can hide them although this doesn't
reduce the file size.

Try resetting the used range (which can reduce file size):

Is there a way to delete extra rows and columns from a worksheet? I have
all
the data I need in the sheet and would like to eliminate the file size by
getting rid of all the extra rows and columns.
Example:
The worksheet would be A1:F51, rows G on would be gone.
Thanks!
