Put this event module in the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set t = Target
Set Q1 = Range("Q1")
If Intersect(t, Q1) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Call delete_cells
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
To learn more about macros in general, see:

To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see:

N.B.:
Make sure delete_cells is in a standard module.
