You should only get that if you were trying to insert columns where there
may be something in the last column.
Use ctrl+end to find the last.

You cannot "delete" columns. Perhaps they are formatted so you should

You may then hide the columns

I need to know how to delete unwanted coulums on a worksheet. I
remember
being taught this in school 10 years ago but i guess its been pushed
out
of
my memory after all this time. All the extra colums are slowing down
our
programs. any help would be appreciated.
