Summary:

Page 144 of the “Microsoft Excel User’s Guide” incorrectly states that the File Delete command cannot be used to delete a document that has been protected or write-reserved with the File Save As command.

The File Delete Command WILL delete any file that does not have either its Read-Only or Hidden File attribute set (to select an attribute, choose Save As from the File menu, select Options, and select the desired attribute).
