Cannot Delete Excel xls file

I have a file which is apparently locked as in use even though it isn't. All
users of our network have restarted their computers and the file is still
locked. It cannot be deleted, renamed, moved to another folder or changed in
any way. How can it be unlocked and deleted

Actually the file is located in which pc whether it is in server or which
place. Whether the disk is write protected?

If this post helps, Click Yes!

Not an Excel issue.

Network permissions issue.
