Hello all,
I am having a really hard time deleting an excel file that is located on a
windows 2k3 cluster. The client is xp pro. the excel file contained macros
and had multiple sheet and most of them were protected. I first copied all
sheets and pasted special (values only) and then I deleted all the sheet and
left only a blank sheet. I saved the file. then i tried to delete it but i
get an error:
Cannot delete <filename.xls>: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
I ran oh.exe and the file was not listed as being locked. I downloaded
WhoLockedMe.exe and that utilied didnt show the file being locked either. I
also tried a util called delinvfile.exe to delete it but that didnt work
either.
Has anyone ran across this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
I appreciate any information anyone has on deleting this file.
Thanks,
Dan
