How to delete Link to removed documents
Dear everyone,
I have a problem: in the Excelsheet I need to work in, there are three links to documents that have been removed or deleted. How can I delete these links?
When I follow the normal description it doesn't work: I do pres on delete link but nothing happends. I guess because the linked document is gone.
This is the dutch article I used: https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/office/een-koppeling-verbreken-met-een-externe-verwijzing-in-excel-f1ca8b08-4f24-4af6-92e5-f4fdb1442748
I hope sincerely that someone can help me.
Love,
Gongon

Most of them are hidden hyperlinks in the conditional formatting of the cells. To delete them, follow the steps below.
Go to the Home tab –> Conditional Formatting –> Manage Rules –> Delete rules in the entire sheet –> OK. - SergeiBaklanDiamond Contributor
I'd recommend to use FindLink https://manville.org.uk/software/findlink.htm
