Confused!

Copper Contributor

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. But I am trying to figure out how to delete a file that will not delete.

I close the file then try to delete it. But it will not let me delete it because it keeps saying that I must close it first. What am I doing wrong?

You can't delete a file or a folder on an NTFS file system volume

Hope I was able to help you with this info.

 

If this not helps…

With your permission, I recommend to provide next time more information.

You'll get a quicker and more accurate answer, and those who want to help don't have to invest time guessing the problem.

I recommend: Always inform about your Excel version, operating system, storage medium/hard drive, OneDrive, Sharepoint, etc.).

If possible, add a file (without sensitive data) and use this file to describe your project step by step, or add photos with the appropriate description.

Drag and drop here or browse files to attach

Don't forget that not every Excel user has a clue about every job and what you see he can't see.
