Default deleting unused cells / getting rid of inactive cells

I have a workbook and its 34mb; too big. Problem is that while I only use
down to row 250 on most sheets, if I "Cntrl + End" the curser/active cell
jumps to the bottom of the spreadsheet (row 65,000+). I've tried to manually
delete the cells and rows but it doesn't seem to work. Any help is
appreciated.

Copy just the data you want from the original and paste into a new sheet.

I meant to say, paste into a sheet in a new workbook file.
