MS Excel - Delete Data

Deleting Data in Microsoft Excel

Keeping your Excel workbook organized involves the occasional removal of unnecessary data. Here's how to delete data efficiently:

Select the Data:

Highlight the data you want to delete by selecting the cells, rows, or columns.

Right-Click and Choose "Delete":

Right-click on the selected data, choose "Delete," and then decide whether to shift surrounding cells up or left to fill the gap.

Clear Contents:

Alternatively, use the "Clear" command to remove only the data while keeping the formatting intact.

Prudent data deletion is the key to maintaining a clean and efficient Excel workbook.
