Can't delete worksheet

I'm right-clicking on a sheet, clicking delete and nothing happens.  The sheet is not protected.  I'm not sure what's happening.   I'm running Excel for Office 365 MSO v1902 for Windows.   Thanks...

DougFresh Please can you tell me how I can run Excel as admin. I have the same issue of not being able to delete sheets in Excel.

If you on Windows and have administrative user rights

Win -> Excel -> Run as administrator

    SergeiBaklan Sorry, but this did not make sense to me.  Tested and didn't work.

    Hi. This didn't work for me either; at least in my case, having administrative rights makes no difference. This behavior only started after a recent Office 365 update. As there has been no other change in either my Windows 10 system setup or Office 365 or Excel usage patterns, I think this problem likely relates to a bug introduced via the recent update.
