I tried deleting the extra rows, but they don't "delete."

Any other ideas/suggestions?
if you have correctly selected the rows as per my post, and deleted them, then saved and exited the file, then the filesize IS reduced.

If you have not yet saved the file then, of course, the size will not correctly reflect.
