    Hi james,

    In Microsoft Project Pro 2021, a "table" can be either a table inside a Report or a custom Project table definition used in view. Therefore, I will provide guidelines for both situations:

    1/ Remove a table from a Project Report

    • Open the project file and go to Report tab
    • Open the report that contains the table
    • Click once on the table in the report area. Also note that:
      • Ensure the whole table object is selected
      • You should see the selection border around the table
    • Press Delete on the keyboard to delete it > save the project

    Just in case if Delete only clears a cell or does nothing:

    • Click the outer edge of the table until the whole table is selected
    • Go to Table Design/Table Layout > Select > Select Table > Delete

    2/ Delete a custom table definition from Project

    • In Project, go to File > Info > Organizer > in the Organizer window, go to Tables tab
    • Tables in the current project are on the right side. Tables in Global.MPT are on the left side.
    • Select the custom table you want to remove > Delete > Close > save the project
