Default Removing disabled Macro

I had been playing with some macros in a book I have. I didn't think I had
saved any of them. Now when I open that workbook, I get a message that says
macros are disabled because the security level is set to High... I'd like to
delete these macros that somehow got stored but when I go to Tools, Macros,
Macros the option to Delete one is not visible - it is grayed out.

Does anyone know how to remove these macros that I was fiddling with and
don't want to keep? Thank you.

You need to remove the Modules as well as the macros they used to contain.

Open the VBE. In the VBAProject explorer window, navigate to the module.
Right-click on it, "Remove", and choose not to export it (I'm assuming).

one of the quickest way to disable/restrict the macros is

Saveas macro disable workbook.

Your macros will be automactically removed and disabled as well.
