    I ran into this same issue; after removing all the code from a particular workbook, excel kept trying to access the "RefusetoDelete" macro within other general worksheets. To fix this, let the corrupted workbook load and use the worksheet_deactivate macro for both the worksheet_activate and worksheet_deactivate macros.

    Add the following code to the corrupted workbook's worksheet:

    Now activate and deactivate a worksheet after saving the changes within the corrupted worksheet. Delete should now be enabled.
