Cleaning a list in Excel
 
I need some help in deleting rows from a list by comparing two lists.
I have two worksheets and both contain the same type of info. Just First
Name, Last Name, Date of birth and Phone#. List 1 has 5000 names and List
2 has 1300 names.
I need to take away the names that are in List 2 from List 1. Any idea on
how to do that?

Example List 1 (Main):

Joe Smith 1/1/1990
Kathy Globe 2/2/1990

List 2 (Takeaway)
Kathy Globe 2/2/1989
Mike Lark 3/1/1981


I need to clean the List 1 by deleting Kathy from the list 1.

Correction. Birth date is the same for Kathy on both lists
