the issue is that the code is is deleting more than i ask for. it also deletes a cell that is not colored.

Code:
Sub delete_test_2()
Dim MyFolder As String
Dim cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("Delete Revs")
    MyFolder = .Range("K1").Value & "\"
        For Each cell In .Range("C3:C17")
            If cell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255) And cell.Offset(0, 1) = "A" Then
                Kill MyFolder & cell.Value & ".pdf"
                cell.Offset(0, 1).Delete xlShiftUp
                cell.Offset(0, 2).Delete xlShiftUp
                cell.Delete xlShiftUp
            End If
        Next cell
            For Each cell In .Range("C3:C17")
                If cell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255) And cell.Offset(0, 1) = "0" Then
                    Kill MyFolder & cell.Value & ".pdf"
                    cell.Offset(0, 1).Delete xlShiftUp
                    cell.Offset(0, 2).Delete xlShiftUp
                    cell.Delete xlShiftUp
                End If
            Next cell

i found an alternative route that works but it gives me "file not found " when code completes.
i think it is searching a blank cell. any ideas? code:
Code:
Dim MyFolder As StringApplication.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("Delete Revs")
        MyFolder = .Range("K1").Value & "\"
            For Each cell In Range("L2:L10000")
            If cell = "" Then
            Else
               Kill MyFolder & cell.Value & ".pdf"
              End If
            Next
    End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
That should ignore blank cells. What is the value of Cell when it fails?
