How would you remove a specific formatting from a cell in Excel?

To remove specific formatting from a cell in Excel, utilizing the "Clear Formats" option is the appropriate method. This option allows you to retain the cell's contents while effectively removing any formatting that had been applied, such as font changes, background colors, borders, and number formats. It provides a clear and straightforward way to revert the appearance of a cell back to the default formatting without affecting the underlying data.

While other choices may seem relevant, they either do not exist within Excel’s functionality or do not accomplish the same task. For instance, the "Delete Formats" option is not a standard feature in Excel, and although you might find features like the "Format Painter" useful for copying formats from one cell to another, it does not serve the purpose of removing formatting from a cell. Similarly, a right-click option for "Remove Formatting" does not exist as described; right-clicking generally opens a context menu that includes other actions but not a direct option labeled as such. Thus, "Clear Formats" is the most effective and recognized method for this specific task.
