So you really didn't need the actual Excel file which is what I surmised from the beginning.  The "link" is only a path to the file it isn't the spreadsheet file itself.  ]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2017 20:22:53 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12313&PID=34662&title=delete-not-found-data-links#34662 <![CDATA[delete "not found" data links : I figured it out ....

But you didn't try AutoCAD Help, right?

Look up the topic: "To remove a link to an external spreadsheet".

I have read several link and tried DATALINK, XREF, and DICT, to no avail.... Help

history: I recieved a set of drawing for a huge site. I open up several drawing and have "not found" data links, excels were not send with set. I don't need the excel or data links and would like to delete the data links as part of my drawing cleanup.
