// Delete the "Sheet2" worksheet from the workbook.
workbook.Worksheets.Remove(workbook.Worksheets["Sheet2"]);

// Delete the first worksheet from the workbook.
workbook.Worksheets.RemoveAt(0);

' Delete the "Sheet2" worksheet from the workbook.
workbook.Worksheets.Remove(workbook.Worksheets("Sheet2"))

' Delete the first worksheet from the workbook.
workbook.Worksheets.RemoveAt(0)

You can also hide a worksheet. See the How to: Show and Hide a Worksheet topic for details.

Note

A workbook must always contain at least one visible worksheet.

The SpreadsheetControl.SheetRemoved event is raised after a worksheet has been deleted from the workbook via the control’s UI.
