MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2004how do I delete?
Hi, XL2K: How do I delete an add-in (*.xla file) from the Tools drop-down menu if it is already been removed from the "Add-in's available" list and from its default location?. TIA Martyn --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. (Giden posta vir?ss?z olarak belgelendi.) AFAIK it should be gone the next time you open excel.

Excel will look and ask if you want to remove. click YES.

Could be the item is a left-over. Have you tried Tools>Customize and dragged the offending menu item off the Tools menu? Close Excel and re-open. Does the item return? If so, the Add-in is being loaded from somewhere.

It is not displayed with the checkable items in the add-ins list. It is displayed on the Tools drop-down menu only, but since I've removed it from its default location fails to be actived. That is all right with me (cause I do not need it any more) but I just wished I can remove it from the list. Anyway if no cure exisists I may leave it as it is...

You could reset that toolbar (all customizations will be lost). Tools|customize|toolbars tab click on Worksheet menubar click on Reset Or you could just delete the offending icon/option manually. Tools|customize (just to see that dialog) now click on Tools (on the real worksheet menubar) and drag the offending icon/option off the dropdown list. close that dialog > Thanks Don and Gord, > Yes the add-in is a "left-over".
