To delete the contents of a cell in Microsoft Excel using the backspace key, you simply need to select the cell and press the backspace key on your keyboard. This will erase the contents of the cell, but it will not delete the cell itself. If you want to delete the entire cell, including any formatting or data contained within it, you can use the delete key instead.

To delete multiple cells at once, you can select a range of cells and then press the backspace key. This will delete the contents of all the selected cells, but it will not delete any cells themselves.
