Deleting Data
Deleting data may seem simple enough, but doing it incorrectly can really mess up your spreadsheet. Follow these rules and you will be fine.
  1. As a general rule, select the cells that contain the data you want to delete, and then select Edit | Clear | All to delete data. This is the same as hitting the Delete key on your keyboard.

  2. Make sure to delete entire rows or columns as described on the 'Rows & Columns' page.

  3. Do not delete individual cells unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

  4. Do not "blank-out" (i.e. use the spacebar) cells to delete data.
