This tutorial explains and provides step by step instructions on how to check if a worksheet exists with the same name and then delete the worksheet using VBA.
VBA Methods: Using VBA you can check if a worksheet exists with the same name and then delete the worksheet. The VBA code will go through the worksheets in the nominated workbook until it finds a worksheet with the exact name and then it will delete the worksheet. Alternatively, if it can't find a worksheet with the same name after it went through all of the worksheets, it will display a message box stating "Worksheet Name Doesn't Exist".
