How can I get rid of CSS

Question

OK. I am a newbie. I am a photographer and I am teaching
myself DW 8 because none of the 4 people I hired was able to build
a website that I could control -and add photos and descriptions
myself.
So, I am working on a site that has the footprints from
several other designers.
I thought that I had constructed/modified the site with
tables, but I apparently still have some CSS elements in the site I
wound up with.
For example, others have noted that:
>Unrelated problem, but your CSS looks to be a little
messed up. You are linking to an invalid stylesheet, you are
>referencing styles that are not defined, and your naming
conventions are rather meaningless.
and
>..and in some of your pages you are referencing css files
on your local drive.
How do i identify and delete the CSS files and references -
but keep my tables and information intact? I have only a few pages
to work on, so manual editing of the pages is no problem now.
At some point I will try to learn CSS - but for now I just
want a site that works, and that I can understand and update.
How do I get rid of CSS??? Or maybe I should ask - -Can I get
rid of CSS?

You probably need someone else to clean your code, as a note
I think this looks wrong:
<link href="ws2.css.LCK" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
it should probably be without ".LCK"
something about images:

this is a bad practice to place large image in a site and
forced it to re-size by html, user will still wait to load full
image size when you could have a small image there and the image
quality is bad when image re-size is forced. You should re-size
images outside of html and place them in html to its original size.

Thanks very much for your reply. I will look for yet more
help to get rid of CSS.
I do not understand your comment on the images. I created,
for example, dune-1120 - as a 700x695 jpeg in Photoshop CS (saved
for the web). On my browser -Mac Safari - it IS opening as that
size (using JustSo PictureWindow). I did not intend for it to be
resized by HTML. i will check the other images on the various pages
(as you noted on
http://www.naturephotostudio.com/photography.html)
i think that those 2 images were created at 700x700 pixels and then
resized whe I inserted them into the table. They are only one or
two images that do not link to full size windows, and I could
remake them as jpegs at the final size.
On the other hand - I see no problem with the images as is on
my Safari browser and Mac monitors.
I am sorry that there is no simple fix for removing all the
CSS code. I may just start over and re-build the site from scratch
with tables. I am not ready yet for CSS, but I need to get a site
up and running - while doing my real job as a photographer. i am
also tired of trying to find designers who are willing to sit in my
studio and build the site on my local Macs so that I can run it
form the studio.
