Don't delete it - hide it. You may still need it another time.

With personal.xls open, just use go to Window | Hide.

I made this mistake of saving a macro to the
personal.xls. Now I've deleted the macro (no longer
needed) and still have personal.xls that pops up and gets
in the way everytime I want to use Excel. It is a royal
pain. How can I permananently delete it ?

Thanks.
