Hope this doesn't sound too dumb, but I trying to relearn what little I did
know. I can't seem to find a way to delete a whole spreadsheet including
what it was saved as. PLEASE help.

Windows Explorer. Select the spreadsheet file. Hit the Delete button (or
right-click, and select Delete).

I still don't get it. It doesn't give me delete as a selection. Thanks for
any more help you can give.

Which version of Windows are you using? As a third possible way, if you
select the file in windows Explorer, does the File menu give you a Delete
option? Are you sure that you are not looking at reduced menu options?
Look out for a "More" at the bottom of your abbreviated menu.

Open Excel, click File, Open, Select the workbook file, (don't open it),
press the Delete button on your keyboard. File is gone,

It did delete the file. However, it is still list on the spreadsheet file
menu and it won't go away and I don't want all these files still listed
there..if they are gone this is too confusing . How do I get rid of that
file name that has been deleted? Thanks for your help1

If you are talking about the "recently used file list", you can clear that
from Tools/ Options/ General. If you deselect the list it will be cleared,
then you can start a new list.

Set the file list count to one less than the location of the file you
deleted, or turn it off and back on to completely wipe the list.
