.Clear Vs .Delete to reduce document size - VBA

Question

Guys which of the below in better to be used in order to reduce document size?

.Clear

.Delete

Have in mind that worksheet includes a variety of formats (cell fill with colors, hyperlinks, bolds etc)

Answer 1

Interesting question. Following is my test and observation.

I populated entire column A and saved workbook. Size is 5556 KB .

I used Delete method

Range("A524288:A1048576").Delete xlUp

After saving, workbook size is 2784 KB .

Then I used Clear as below

Range("A524288:A1048576").Clear

After saving, workbook size is 2784 KB ie exactly the same. So no impact on the size of workbook in this particular case!
