There are two methods for deleting data from a worksheet:

Deleting the content of cells

If you use the Del key on the keyboard, only the contents of the selected cells will be deleted.

Deleting whole cells

If you use the ribbon command Home | group Cells | Delete, however, the selected cells will be completely deleted from the worksheet. The other cells in the worksheet will move up accordingly.
