Unable to Hide Clolumns

[Hanz77]

I'm currently working on a spreadsheet that extends from cell A1 to GY178. I'm trying to slim down the spreadsheet by hiding about 100 columns. So far I have hidden about 50 of the 100 columns; however, I am now receiving a "Cannot shift objects off sheet" error. I could understand getting this error if I were inserting a row or column, but I am simply trying to hide columns. So far I have deleted everything from columns GZ to IV and rows 179 to 65536 to shutting down Excel and started it back up again. I continue to get this error. Any other suggestions are appreciated.
