Hellokchecketts​,

There is currently no supported way to remove or move the "Copilot Suggestions" item from Excel’s right-click menu. Microsoft only provides the option to disable Copilot entirely. If your Excel build shows the Copilot setting, go to File > Options > Copilot and uncheck Enable Copilot, then restart Excel. If your build does not show this option, there is no official method to hide the right-click entry.

I don't have the option. There being no option to remove all these microslop "features" is horrible. It is deliberately placed to disrupt workflow in order to try and get more usage. It's the same with every microsoft program. You should at least be honest and say that the ai options being disruptive is deliberate and will not be changing soon, not that there just randomly isn't a way to restore it for reasons no one can control or understand.
