Easy way to delete Tabs

[ERed1]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone new a macro that deleted specific tabs based on part their name. I have a macro that creates new tabs, but every tab has "Sheet 1" in it, the later tabs have "Sheet 1 (2)", "Sheet 1 (3)", etc. I just need those tabs to be deleted at the push of a button. I can explain more if someone needs it.

thanks in advance for the help

How about

Sub ERed1()
   Dim ws As Worksheet
   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   For Each ws In Worksheets
      If ws.Name Like "*(*)" Then ws.Delete
   Next ws
   Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

This code will do that:

Sub DeleteSheets()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    For Each ws In Worksheets
        If Left(ws.Name, 7) = "Sheet 1" Then ws.Delete
    Next ws
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

So I implemented this into my code, and I got it to delete "Sheet 1 (2)", but it isn't deleting "Sheet 1". So Here is what my code looks like with yours in it.

 Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   Sheets(Array("Merged", "Cat", Dog", "Plant", "Lizard", "Frog")). _    Select
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
    
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In Worksheets
        If ws.Name Like "*(*)" Then ws.Delete
    Next ws


Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Did you try my code?
I tested it out, and it will delete any Sheet name that starts with "Sheet 1".

Try Joe's code, I misunderstood & thought you only wanted to delete the sheets with (1) etc, rather than all sheets that contained Sheet1 in the name

So I tried both of your code, and Fluff's cleared the ones after, while Joe's cleared the first sheet, so I just put both of those in there and it works great that way.

I created sheets named "Sheet 1", "Sheet 1 (2)", and "Sheet 1 (3)", like shown in your example, and it deleted all of them.
If my original code, as-is, did not do that for you, then I suspect that your sheets are really not named the way you first said in your original post.

So I just noticed this; they are named "Sheet1". There isn't a space in there.

In that case use

If Left(ws.Name, 6) = "Sheet1" Then ws.Delete
