    Try this

    I added a small test sample since your sample data was too similar and it seems to work


    Option Explicit
    Sub Something()
        Dim wsMain As Worksheet, wsClean As Worksheet
        Dim aryMain As Variant, aryClean As Variant
        
        Dim i As Long, j As Long
        Dim aryPieces As Variant
        
        Set wsMain = Worksheets("Sheet1")
        aryMain = wsMain.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
        Set wsClean = Worksheets("Sheet2")
        aryClean = wsClean.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
            
        For i = LBound(aryMain, 1) To UBound(aryMain, 1)
            aryMain(i, 1) = aryMain(i, 1) & "|"
            aryClean(i, 1) = aryClean(i, 1) & "|"
        Next i
            
        For i = LBound(aryMain, 1) To UBound(aryMain, 1)
            
            aryPieces = Split(aryMain(i, 1), "|")
        
            For j = LBound(aryPieces) To UBound(aryPieces) - 1  '   get extra because added | above
                aryClean(i, 1) = Replace(aryClean(i, 1), aryPieces(j) & "|", vbNullString)
            Next j
        
            aryClean(i, 1) = Left(aryClean(i, 1), Len(aryClean(i, 1)) - 1)
        
        Next i
        
        wsClean.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value = aryClean
    End Sub

    I tested in your sample and it seems to delete, at least based on my understanding of what you wanted



    I only looked at the results for Row1

    Sheet2 A1 BEFORE has length 949


    Before.JPG




    Sheet2 A1 AFTER has length 852


    After.JPG


    The formula bar clearly shows differences




    A detailed breakdown shows the deleted pieces in the AFTER which correspond to pieces in Sheet1, Row 1


    Compare.JPG


    So I guess I don't see what's not working

    Provide a specific example and I'll look again

    Thanks for explain but i think you do not understand my Mean
    In Sheet1 in A2 We have A25G Volvo|A25F Volvo and when run The VBA in Sheet2 , the result in Sheet2 A2 : A25F Volvo |A25G Volvo
    Mean it must delete the value that does not exist in sheet 1 , So in Sheet 2 we will see the same value that we have in sheet1 but with different sort .

    Hope you understand .

    I understand a little better the deleted. So …


    Sheet1 A2 = "A25G Volvo|A25F Volvo"

    Before:

    Sheet2 A2 = "860 Volvo BM|861 Volvo BM|5350 Volvo BM|5350B Volvo BM|5350B 4x4 Volvo BM|5350B 6x4 Volvo BM|A20 Volvo BM|A20 6x4 Volvo BM|A20C Volvo BM|A20C Volvo|A25 Volvo BM|A25 4x4 Volvo BM|A25 6x4 Volvo BM|A25B Volvo BM|A25B 4x4 Volvo BM|A25C Volvo BM|A25C Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo BM|A25D Volvo|A25D 4x4 Volvo|A25E Volvo|A25E 4x4 Volvo|A25F Volvo SN 13001-99999|A25F Volvo SN 320001-|A25G Volvo|A30 Volvo BM|A30C Volvo|A30C Volvo BM|A30D Volvo|A30E Volvo|A30F Volvo SN 12001-99999"


    After:

    Sheet2 A2 = "A25G Volvo"
    since "A25G Volvo" is the only piece in Sheet2 A2



    the result in Sheet2 A2 : A25F Volvo |A25G Volvo
    There is no exact match for "A25F Volvo" in Sheet2 A2, but there are these:

    "
    A25F Volvo SN 13001-99999|A25F Volvo SN 320001-"
    Matching SN's is difficult



    I don't understand the "with different sort"

    Do you want the pieces in each cell in Sheet2 sorted Low-High?


    Try this which seems to do the exact matching and deletes



    Option Explicit
    Sub Something3()

        Set wsMain = Worksheets("Sheet1")
        aryMain = wsMain.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
        Set wsClean = Worksheets("Sheet2")
        aryClean = wsClean.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
            
        For i = LBound(aryMain, 1) To UBound(aryMain, 1)
            aryMain(i, 1) = aryMain(i, 1) & "|"
            aryClean(i, 1) = aryClean(i, 1) & "|"

            For j = LBound(aryPieces) To UBound(aryPieces) - 1  '   get extra because added | above
                If InStr(aryMain(i, 1), aryPieces(j)) = 0 Then aryPieces(j) = vbNullString
            Next j
        
            aryClean(i, 1) = Join(aryPieces, "|")
            
            Do While InStr(aryClean(i, 1), "||") > 0
                aryClean(i, 1) = Replace(aryClean(i, 1), "||", "|")
            Loop
            
            If Right(aryClean(i, 1), 1) = "|" Then
                aryClean(i, 1) = Left(aryClean(i, 1), Len(aryClean(i, 1)) - 1)
            End If
            If Left(aryClean(i, 1), 1) = "|" Then
                aryClean(i, 1) = Right(aryClean(i, 1), Len(aryClean(i, 1)) - 1)
            End If

    Dear Paul_Hossler just there is a small problem :
    In Sheet1 I have
    A25C Volvo BM|A25C 4x4 Volvo BM


    in Sheet2
    A25C Volvo BM|A25C Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo BM

    The result must be in Sheet2

    but now it will
    A25C Volvo BM|A25C Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo BM

    Please check the Sample File , The result of sheet2 me must be same as sheet3.
    In your code it will change the type of sort , it must only delete …

    Sheet1
    A25B 4x4 Volvo BM|A25B Volvo BM
    Sheet2
    860 Volvo BM|861 Volvo BM|5350 Volvo BM|5350B Volvo BM|5350B 4x4 Volvo BM|5350B 6x4 Volvo BM|A20 Volvo BM|A20 6x4 Volvo BM|A20C Volvo BM|A20C Volvo|A25 Volvo BM|A25 4x4 Volvo BM|A25 6x4 Volvo BM|A25B Volvo BM|A25B 4x4 Volvo BM|A25C Volvo BM|A25C Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo|A25C 4x4 Volvo BM|A25D Volvo|A25D 4x4 Volvo|A25E Volvo|A25E 4x4 Volvo|A25F Volvo|A25G Volvo|A30 Volvo BM|A30C Volvo|A30C Volvo BM|A30D Volvo|A30E Volvo|A30F Volvo|A30G Volvo|A35 Volvo BM|A35C Volvo|A35C Volvo BM|A35D Volvo|A35E Volvo|A35E FS Volvo|A35F Volvo|A35F FS Volvo|A35G Volvo|A35G FS Volvo|A40 Volvo BM|A40 Volvo|A40D Volvo|A40E Volvo|A40E FS Volvo|A40F Volvo|A40F FS Volvo|A40G Volvo|A40G FS Volvo|A45G Volvo|A45G FS Volvo|A60H Volvo|T450D Volvo
    The Result must be
    A25B Volvo BM|A25B 4x4 Volvo BM
    But in your code the result is

    A25B 4x4 Volvo BM|A25B Volvo BM
    If you see in sheet2 first is A25B Volvo BM and after it A25B 4x4 Volvo BM

    Sorry, I'm confused

    Using Sample4 above, this is Sheet1

    Sheet1.JPG


    This is Sheet2 before the macro

    Sheet2Before.JPG


    And this is Sheet2 after the macro


    Sheet2Aftere.JPG


    What should it be?

    You didn't say that you wanted the pieces sorted in each cell

    This is the result of sorting using the normal collating sequence which puts numbers (4X4 Volvo BM) ahead of letters (Volvo BM)

    Capture.JPG

    It's doable to sort other ways, but a whole lot of work. I'll think about it
