Extra Large Size of Excel file, even after deleting all spreadsheets
Hi Everyone. I do have an excel file with deleted spreadsheets but still the file size of the spreadsheet it too big. Can one help me with the reason why this is like that??
Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?
- I have the same problem.
Please check this file in the link below.
It is still 1.2 MB even i delete everything.
And it take me 30-60 seconds to open this file.

Regarding your file size problem:
You did not delete the custom cell styles.
But they are not the problem this time.
You have a few thousand hidden (fancy) names in your workbook.
Get rid of them!
I am very grateful for your help.
Can you guide me how to remove these hidden (fancy) names in my workbook.
