- Unhide any worksheets that may be hidden.
- Select all the worksheets in the workbook. (Click on the first worksheet tab, then hold down Shift as you click on the last worksheet tab.)
- Right click on one of the worksheet tabs. Excel displays a Context menu.
- Choose Move or Copy from the Context menu. Excel displays the Move or Copy dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
- Using the To Book drop-down list, choose (new book).
- Make sure the Create Copy check box is not selected.
- Click on OK.
- Rehide any worksheets you unhid in step 1.

The second approach is to simply work with the existing workbook, and is a viable choice if you feel comfortable with macros in the first place. Follow these steps:
- Press Alt+F11 to display the VBA Editor.
- In the Project Explorer (upper-left corner of the Editor), right-click on a module that you want to delete. (Remember that macros are stored in modules, and that you should only right-click on a module that is associated with the workbook that you want to cleanse.) Excel displays a Context menu.
- Choose the Remove option from the Context menu. The actual wording of the option will include the name of the module you want to remove, such as Remove Module1.
- When asked if you want to export the module before removing it, click on No.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 for any other modules you want to remove.
- Close the VBA Editor.
