Excel - unable to open a file

[Anthomy_Issitt]

File in listed in Excel, unable to open, overwriten by a message - " This workbook has been deleted or is not currently available. "

Well, that is exactly what is going on: the file is no longer there. Excel does not remove items from the recently opened files when a file is deleted. You can right-click the item in the list and choose "Remove from list".

The file that I cannot open is overwritten by a mressage. " This workbook has been deleted or is not currently available. " It has not been deleted.

Did you search for the topic on the web?

If no: Why not?

If yes: Did you try the proposed solutions?

  If no: Why not?

  If yes: What were the results?

All those items have been pursued along with discussions with Apple and Microsoft.

@Anthomy_Issitt I advise you to double-check. Perhaps the file has been renamed (or really deleted!). Excel does NOT keep track of files that have been renamed or deleted from outside of Excel.

Try this:

• Open a blank workbook
• Save the file as (for instance) "My book 1.xlsx" in any location.
• Close Excel
• Open Windows File Explorer
• Go to where you just saved the file
• Rename the file to (for example) "My book 2.xlsx"
• Now open Excel and click on the File tab. You should see "My book1.xlsx" in the list
• Click it
• You should get the exact same error message
