What happens when the entire table is selected and the Delete key is pressed?

When the entire table is selected and the Delete key is pressed, the result is that all content in the table is removed, but the table structure remains intact. This means the cells, rows, and columns will still exist as empty structures in the document.

Choosing to delete the text from the table rather than the table itself allows users to keep the formatting and layout style they may want to use again later. For example, if the table was styled with specific borders, shading, or size adjustments, pressing Delete will keep these attributes while removing only the text. This capability is particularly useful for users who need to update content regularly without needing to recreate the table each time.

In contrast, removing the entire table would mean losing both the data and the structure, which is not what happens when only the Delete key is pressed on a selected table. This is why the choice indicating that the blank table remains in the document is not accurate.
