Hello,
I have an excel sheet with hundreds of pictures in it, and the pictures having no hyperlinks are useless to me.
Searching the forum, i could only find to delete pictures with hyperlinks with the code below.
I need your support for the opposite - thanks,

VBA Code:
Sub hyper()

Dim shp As Shape

For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes

If shp.Hyperlink.Address <> "" Then shp.Delete

Next shp

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Welcome to the forum

this deletes ALL SHAPES without a link
VBA Code:
Sub Bilestones()
    Dim shp As Shape
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        On Error Resume Next
        Debug.Print shp.Hyperlink.Address
        If Err.Number = 1004 Then shp.Delete
        On Error GoTo 0
    Next shp
End Sub
