Deleting a Chart

Excel allows you to create all sorts of charts based on the data in a worksheet table. These charts can either be on their own sheets or they can be embedded within a regular worksheet. At some point you may have a need to delete a chart. To delete an embedded chart, all you need to do is select it (so that handles appear around the perimeter of the chart object) and then press the Delete key. If you need to delete a chart sheet, you do so in the same manner as when you delete a regular worksheet:

1. Display the chart sheet.
2. Choose Delete Sheet from the Edit menu or, if you are using Excel 2007, display the Home tab of the ribbon and then choose the Delete down-arrow (in the Cells group) and finally Delete Sheet. Excel asks if you are sure you want to delete the sheet.
3. Click on OK. The chart sheet is deleted.
