Can I delete .xlk backups and why are they created?
It seems that Excel is creating .xlk backups of "certain" files. It is only
happening in a select few files and directories. Why is it doing this and how can I turn it off? |

Tools | Options | Save
Is this what you're referring to? |

No, it does the automatic backup regardless of if the AutoRecover settings on
that tab. I put all the backups into a different folder to segregate them and saved the workbook (name.xls) again and it saves a file called Backup of name.xlk every single time. "DNA" wrote: Tools | Options | Save Is this what you're referring to? |

This is a workbook by workbook setting.
File|SaveAs|tools|General Options| Uncheck that "always create backup" checkbox. But it's not such a bad thing. A little disk space is cheaper than recreating a workbook. dgoranson wrote: It seems that Excel is creating .xlk backups of "certain" files.

Thank you Dave - that is exactly what I couldn't find.
