Remove Table from PowerPoint document

Spire.Presentation is a powerful and easy-to-use .NET component, especially designed for developers. Using Spire.Presentation you can generate, modify, convert, render, and print documents without installing Microsoft PowerPoint on your machine. There is a document in our website introducing you how to insert table. And in this document, I will introduce you how to remove tables within a PPT document.

Step 1: Create Presentation instance and load file.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
presentation.LoadFromFile("sample.ppt");

Step 2: Get the tables within the PPT document.

List shape_tems = new List();
foreach (IShape shape in presentation.Slides[0].Shapes)
{
    if (shape is ITable)
    {
        //add new table to table list
        shape_tems.Add(shape);
    }
}

Step 3: Remove all tables.

foreach (IShape shape in shape_tems)
{
    presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.Remove(shape);
}

Step 4: Save the document.

presentation.SaveToFile("result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

Download and install Spire.Presentation for .NET and refer to below code to remove tables within PPT document.
