You'd think so wouldn't you.

It seems that the workbook is corrupted in such a way that nobody can delete
it, I wonder if the server thinks that the workbook is in use?

I was able to restore a copy from around a month ago (I'm not sure when the
corruption occurred) and delete it. I then renamed the updated version as
the live copy and all's well but why does this happen? how do I stop it from
happening?

A network admin should have sufficient rights to delete the old file and
copy in the fixed one giving it the same name.
