I'm not 100% sure if this will work for dropdown boxes, but it works for removing checkboxes, so it's worth a shot.

Press the F5 key
Click Special
Select Objects
Click OK
At this point, the dropdown box should be highlighted
Press the Delete key to remove it

Hope that works for you!

I tried it but when I press F5 function key, it does not pop up anything.
It might be I am using the French version Excel.
How do you go to get the function to find Subject, is it also you can find it in developer tools ?
If I remind, it seems that I have already tried this way but it does not related.

F5 opens the Go To menu. If F5 doesn't work for you, you could also try CTRL+G or from the Home Tab, click Find & Select and choose Go To.

Finally I find the Go to Special & try to go to object. But it show that it's no object in my table. So no luck on it.
If anybody has any idea what's that exactly & how to delete this boxes, it's so annoying especially when I do the sorting in Column A as it's block the filter so I can not do anything. When I click on those box, there is blank & no information on it.
