The perfect tool is the Name Manager addin, this will allow you to verify
names are not used before deleting them (and much more)

I have a spreadsheet that has an incredibly long list of named ranges in
the
Insert/Name/Define dialog that don't show in the Name Box. I don't know
how
they got there and they refer to cells on spreadsheets on other people's
hard
drives and network drives I don't have access to. I know how to delete
them,
one by one, in the dialog, but is there a way to delete them as a group?

Thanks,
Bernie
