    That does not work!

    Anyway I have solved the problem because I have cut it from the sheet and pasted into a new one then deleted the whole thing!

    i believe you have to hold down control to select the chart first.

    I guess it may depend on which version of Excel you are using. I use 2007, and I can assure you that you only need to click in the chart to select it, and once you´ve done that you can delete it. I did test it before I posted just to make sure it worked.
