match entire cell content and delete row

Hi!

So I have a separate sheet (called "negative") with thousands of phrases I do not want in my "data" sheet. I want to filter through column C in "data" sheet for any phrases that matches entire cell content of any items in column A of the "negative" sheet.

The filter and delete row works, except I don't know for sure if it is matching THE ENTIRE CELL CONTENT before deleting the row. It seems to be deleting when the cell contents are close to what I have on my list in my "negative" sheet.

Thanks in advance!

Sub Delete_with_Autofilter_More_Criteria()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim CriteriaRng As Range
    Dim calcmode As Long

    With Application
        calcmode = .Calculation
        .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With

    With Sheets("negative")
        Set CriteriaRng = .Range("A1", .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
    End With

    'Loop through the cells in the Criteria range
    For Each cell In CriteriaRng

        With Sheets("data")

            'Firstly, remove the AutoFilter
            .AutoFilterMode = False

            'Apply the filter
            .Range("C1:C" & .Rows.Count).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=cell.Value

            With .AutoFilter.Range
                Set rng = Nothing
                On Error Resume Next
                Set rng = .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1) _
                          .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
                On Error GoTo 0
                If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.EntireRow.Delete
            End With

            'Remove the AutoFilter
            .AutoFilterMode = False
        End With

    Next cell

    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .Calculation = calcmode
    End With
    
End Sub

if i stop the code, then it will no longer serve as an automatic filter and delete code...
