how do you get rid of the default background of "page 1" in excel

[Querty]

It doesn't give you the option of delete background to clear the default.
I tried to add a blank background and that didn't work either; the "page 1"
stays on the excel sheet. It blocks view of numbers on the sheet and is
very frustrating!!

From your description it seems you still have the sheet in page break preview.

Click on print preview and then click normal view, 'page 1' will no longer be showing.

Go back to Normal view:

View|Normal

It's a feature of View|Page break preview

In the "View" on the menu bar, select "Normal" if "Page Break Previw"
is selected. That should remove the "Page 1" background.
