Default Edit-Links Option not available

I have a workbook in which many sheets contain links to one particular
sheet. I now want to remove those links quickly and delete that
sheet.

When I go to the Edit menu however, the Links... option is greyed out
and I can't click it. Any idea why this is? I don't want to use the
Copy Paste Special Values method to remove the links as this takes
too much time.

Edit|Links is used with external links--links to different workbooks--not
different worksheets within the same workbook.

Maybe you could do some edit|Finds and look for the worksheet name in formulas.
You may find a few false positives if the worksheet name isn't unique, though.

Another option you may want to try (against a copy of your workbook???)

Open the copy of the workbook
Move that workbook to a new workbook (and save that workbook as a new name).

Now your links to that worksheet are external and you can use Edit|Links.
