I have created Combobox and try to delete it

VBA Code:
     Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
     Dim Combo As ComboBox
     On Error GoTo SelectAll
         If Selection.Count = 1 Then
             If Not Intersect(Target, Columns("A")) Is Nothing Then
                SaveSetting "ExcelHelper", "Data", "ManRow", Target.Row - 1
                CreateCombo 0, Target.RowHeight * (Target.Row - 1), 80, Target.RowHeight
                With ManCombo
                 .Activate = True
                 .Visible = True
                 .Activate
                End With
             Else
                 DeleteAllCombo
             End If
         End If
         Exit Sub
     SelectAll:
     End Sub

     Option Explicit
     Public Sub CreateCombo(Left, Top, Width, Heigth)
       Dim Combo As ComboBox
       Dim TheComboName As String
       TheComboName = "ManCombo"
       On Error Resume Next
         ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(TheComboName).Delete
       On Error GoTo 0
       Set Combo = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", _
         Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=Left, Top:=Top, Width:=Width, Height:=Heigth).Object
       Combo.Name = "ManCombo"
     End Sub

     Public Sub DeleteAllCombo()
         Dim wks As Worksheet
         Dim obj As OLEObject
         Set wks = ActiveSheet
         For Each obj In wks.OLEObjects
             If obj.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then obj.Delete
         Next
     End Sub


But Combobox not deleted in this way. Hmmm, why?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

I modified your code slightly. Try this.

VBA Code:
Public Sub DeleteAllCombo()
         Dim wks As Worksheet
         Dim obj As OLEObject
         Set wks = ActiveSheet
         For Each obj In wks.OLEObjects
             If obj.Name = "CheckBox1" Then obj.Delete
         Next
     End Sub
