cannot open and can not delete files
When I was trying to delete the files that I could not
open, I got the following error message: Cannot delete xxxx.xls: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use. Any input on how to delete the files? |

You may have an instance of Excel still running in the
background. Open up the task manager and make sure an instance is not there. If there is one, kill it. Then try deleting the file. If that doesn't help, try booting into dos, and deleting the file from there.
