How do I delete an already previously saved Excel spreadsheet?

[Tish]

I am trying to delete an already previously saved Excel spreadsheet that is
no longer needed. When I go to the Office button at the top left corner of
Excel & go to recent document & then highlight the Excel spreadsheet, I no
longer need, it does not give me the choice to do what I want to do. How do I
delete an already previously saved Excel spreadsheet?

Hi,

The Recently Used File List has been nicely enhanced in 2007, however, what
you are asking for is not built-in.

Let me point out that 2003 and earlier this list, there at the bottom of the
File menu, displayed 4 items by default but would allow up to 9. When the
list is full and a new item came on the oldest item dropped off. In 2007
the default number of files is 9 but you can up that to 50. And the pin you
see on the right side will lock the file to the RUFL until you unpin it. So
now you can keep the item you most want always at your fingertips. Other
items drop off as in 2003.
