Delete Data in an External table

How do you delete data in a linked table? I have an excel file linked into
my access database but if I try to run a delete query on the linked table it
gives me this error message: Deleting data in a linked table is not
supported by this ISAM.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I can't find the link to the background info, but modifying data in a linked
Excel file has been blocked by Microsoft. It is because of a lawsuit they
lost with someone who claims Microsoft violated a copywrite.
