When you have a large worksheet with many rows, you may want to delete the rows that you do not need to make the worksheet more manageable. Also, when you are using data imported from another application, sometimes rows may have junk data. These can affect the work that you are doing so you may want to delete all the rows to be sure that the sheet is clean. It is difficult to select all the columns in the sheet but fortunately, Excel has a shortcut that you can use.
