You could use a helper column. If the 19 values you want deleted are listed
on Sheet2 (in A1:A19), then enter
=Isnumber(Match(Cell, Sheet2!A$1:A$19, 0))
in an empty column next to your table and copy the formula down (replace
Cell with your actual cell reference). Then autofilter on this new column
for TRUE values and delete the filtered rows. Then turn off autofilter and
delete the helper column.

There are 19 different values. I used the 19 values (reps) on sheet 1 and
used color yellow as the highlight. If there was a way to select all 19 from
the drop down in auto filter I wouldn't have the need to color them yellow. I
am using excel 03' if that makes a difference.

I think Luke meant for you to filter for the value you used in CF to color the
cells.

i.e. Less than 123 or equal to "relo rob"

Thanks for the advice and sorry for being a newby but I did see any way I
could do a custom filter for color.

I'd use an Autofilter, then do a custom filter to find those cells. Then just
select them all in one go, and delete them.

I have used conditional formatting with a formula is statement to highlights
cells in a column of about 5800 rows. Now that certain cells are highlighted
with one color how can I delete just them cells so I can work with the data
that is left?
