My file is 20MB but there appears to be nothing in it.
 

I have an excel spreadsheet with around 40 tabs in it. I have totally
deleted everything in it yet the file is still 20MB. How can I find what is
creating this 20MB?

have you closed it and reopened it?
a lot of size does not go away until you have closed and reopened.
Check to see if there are hidden sheets.
on each sheet try edit-goto-special-last cell

I'd start by going into each sheet and seeing if there were any objects
(pictures/buttons/etc) on them.

Select a sheet
edit|goto special|Objects
and hit delete to delete the selected objects (if there were any)
