If the sheet is protected then you can't delete from it.

Thanks for answer. I want to delete unprotected or unlocked cells. if the sheet is protected, are any cells deleted in the sheet event though unlocked cells. my button click include 'delete cells' event. Can't I?

Your delete range is not in protected row or column, I think it should can be delete.

You can't, WorkSheet Protection is done to prevent cells deletion.

You can only clear the content of unlocked cells.

Try to unlock the sheet first, delete the data and protect again.
