Default Cannot delete extra rows

and if the suggestion from Shane is not good enough, copy the rows that you
need to a new spreadsheet.

I have hidden them for now. But I'd prefer to do whatever is necessary to
make the vertical scrollbar reflect the actual number of rows. As it stands,
if unhidden, I cannot grab the slider on the vertical scrollbar to quickly
move throughout the sheet because it is so tiny and will move me outside my
data. So how can I set the end of data for the worksheet so the scrollbar
stops there?

You can't delete rows (or columns) as such.
You can delete the contents (in which case they get replaced by blank rows
or columns), and/or you can hide the rows or columns, but they still exist.

For whatever reason my worksheet goes on to row 1048576 while actual data
ends on row 204. I tried various methods of deleting rows 205-1048576, but
they won't go away. I enter 205:1048576 into the Name Box and hit Delete,
but
the same rows return. It's a vicious circle. I can do this over and over.
Also, hitting Ctrl+Shift+Down takes me down to 1048576, yet hitting
Ctrl+End
takes me down to only 504. My worksheet is very screwed up, so I need a
surefire method of absolutely eliminating anything from 205 on. Is this
possible?
