You can easily delete a table you no longer need in a document. Just remember that deleting a table removes all the content as well.
Click the table corner to select the table you want to delete.
Click the Ribbon’s Layout tab.
Click Delete.
Click Delete Table.
Tip
Not the Delete Key! You may assume that simply pressing the Delete key will remove a table from your document, but it does not. Pressing Delete removes the table’s contents only. You must use the Delete Table command to completely remove a table.
Tip
Shortcut You can also right-click over a selected table and click Delete Table from the pop-up menu that appears.
