Default can't delete sheets


I have Excel 2011 on a 2008 Macbook Pro and I have a spreadsheet I created that has 4 sheets. I want to use sheet 4 to make a new spreadsheet so I need to either copy it and start a new spreadsheet with it or I need to delete the first three sheets. But when I right click any of the sheets it doesn't give me a delete option. So I need to know how to use the 4th sheet to start a new spreadsheet.
thanks for any help

Is your workbook protected? Does this happen on any other workbook?

I have unprotected all sheets. I don't have this problem on all spreadsheets (I just tested one other and the delete option is available)

How about the workbook? Is it protected?

I don't use office for Mac, but did google come up with any thoughts?
