Removing data from a cell
Data can be removed (deleted) from a cell in several ways.
Removing data only
The data alone can be removed from a cell without removing any of
the formatting of the cell. Click in the cell to select it, and then press
the Backspace key.
Removing data and formatting
The data and the formatting can be removed from a cell at the same
time. Press the Delete key (or right-click and choose Delete
Contents, or use Edit > Delete Contents) to open the Delete
Contents dialog (Figure 120). From this dialog, the different
aspects of the cell can be deleted. To delete everything in a cell
(contents and format), check Delete all.

Replacing all the data in a cell
To remove data and insert new data, simply type over the old data. The
new data will retain the original formatting.
Changing part of the data in a cell
Sometimes it is necessary to change the contents of cell without
removing all of the contents, for example if the phrase “See Dick run”
is in a cell and it needs to be changed to “See Dick run fast.” It is often
useful to do this without deleting the old cell contents first.
