Default Word 2018 not showing style count

I need to find out how many times a style has been used so that I can delete unused ones. When I open up the drop down stle selection and right click on a style I get





Select all (No data)
Remove all (No data)


When that style is definatly in use.


What is wrong?

I'm sorry, your question is difficult for me to understand.
Styles in use is a flaky idea in Word and does not work perfectly.
You cannot delete built-in styles.
You can remove styles from the Quick Styles Gallery on the home tab. This does not remove them from the document.

Word has many built-in styles and most likely you are only using a fraction of these. You also can't delete any of the built-in styles.

If you want to clear up the formatting in a specific document, you can do the following:
Copy all the content, minus the final paragraph mark (¶), into a new, blank document.

To show/hide paragraph marks (¶) as well as other nonprinting marks, click the ¶ icon on the Home tab.

It is likely that you have Style+ formatting where a Style was used then some form of Direct Formatting was applied to that Style creating a NEW STYLE.
Change the View Options of the Styles Pane to show ALL Styles. That way you can see all the Styles in the Current Style Set for the document.
Also, you can remove any Direct Formatting from Selected Text by pressing CTRL+SPACE
