To delete the contents of a cell in Excel using the delete key, you need to select the cell or cells that you want to delete and then press the delete key on your keyboard.

When you press the delete key, Excel will remove the contents of the selected cell or cells. If you have other data or formulas that reference the deleted cell or cells, these references will also be deleted.

If you want to delete the entire cell, including any formatting or comments, you can use the Clear command from the Editing group on the Home tab of the ribbon. To do this, select the cell or cells you want to delete, click the Clear button, and then choose Clear All.
