Opposite of a marco

With the help of others I have a marco that inserts cells into my worksheet.
I would also like to make a marco to remove these cells, so basically if you
would use the insert marco and then use the delete marco your worksheet would
be like it was untouched.

This is the marco used for inserting:

Sub InsertSemester()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
v = Rows(LastRow - 1).Formula
Cells(LastRow - 1, "A").Resize(5, 1).EntireRow.Insert
Rows(LastRow - 1) = v
Rows(LastRow + 4).ClearContents
Range("AU2:BG6").Copy Cells(LastRow, "A")
End Sub

Hope You Can Help

Sub DelLastFive()
Dim lr As Long, x As Long
lr = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
x = lr - 4
ActiveSheet.Rows(x & ":" & lr).Delete
End Sub

I looked at your original code again and maybe it would be better using these
variable values for x and lr.

Sub DelLastFive()
Dim lr As Long, x As Long
lr = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
x = lr - 5
ActiveSheet.Rows(x & ":" & lr -1).Delete
End Sub

The first one didn't work but the second one did the trick thanks. One
additional question though. Right now with these marcos I am inserting and
deleting rows. Could I instead have a marco to just move the last row down
five and paste the five new rows above it, rather than inserting rows. And
vice versa with deleting, could I clear the contents in the five rows above
the last row and then copy the last row up five? Hopefully you can understand
what I mean.

I am not asking to be picky, It's just that adding and deleting rows
sometimes messes up the other data on my sheet. Again, thanks for your help.

What you have in that last row can make a difference in how you handle the
situation. If you have formula that have relative references, the precedents
and dependents of the relative cells could get screwed up by inserting and
deleting rows.
It can also result in generating error messages if the formulas are looking
for one data type in a location and finds another. So you have to be careful
about these types of transactions. In the present case, I assumed the last
row was not affected since you had previously inserted the rows and indicated
that everything was OK.
But the short answer to your question is that yes you can do it differently.
