Delete a row or column

Delete a row

1. Click the row header of the row that you want to delete.

    Note   To delete multiple rows, click the first row header and then drag to the last row. Or, select the first row, then hold down SHIFT and select the last row.

2. Right-click the selection and click Delete Rows.

Deleted rows are placed in the site Recycle Bin, and can be restored to the list if needed. For more information on how to work with the Recycle Bin, open Help in SharePoint Foundation 2010 by clicking Help ( ).

Delete a column

1. Right-click the column header of the column that you want to delete, and then click Edit/Delete Column.
2. On the Change Column page, click Delete.

  Notes  

• Deleted columns are not placed in the site Recycle Bin. They are permanently deleted.
• You can delete only one column at a time. If cells in multiple columns are selected, the column containing the active cell will be taken as the selected column.
• If a column is read-only, you cannot delete it. Also, you cannot delete some columns in lists of a certain type, because these columns are required for the list to function properly.
