I've tried to remove unwanted fonts from Excel and place them in a folder
called 'fonts backup'. However, they keep appearing when I open Excel. Is
Excel importing fonts from some other folder, too?

Is there anything I can do to have Excel only show the handful of fonts I
normally work with?

Hi,

You can also try removing those unwanted fonts from C:\WINDOWS\Fonts...but
have a backup for precaution.

You've got my curiosity piqued.

Office applications use whatever fonts are installed in WindowsFonts
folder.

How are you removing fonts from Excel and placing them in a backup folder?

I have never heard of that being done.
