A couple more things to try: http://contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#ReadOnly and http://contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#AlreadyOpen Both from Debra Dalgleish's site. If that file is on a network drive, you may have to ask your IT folks to reboot that server. an wrote: Hi! I have a File.xls.

Delete a "locked for editing file by..."
I have the same problem with some (not all) .xls files opened in
compatibility mode from Excel 2007. After they have been re-saved once on our Server (Windows Server 2003 R2) they are locked and cannot be modified or deleted. The only work around I have found so far is to save the file with a different name and reboot the server, after which the files can then be deleted. We have checked these files on the server and they do not show that they are open or protected in any way. Is this a bug in the compatibility mode for Excel 2007? Is there any other solution other than rebooting the server? Has this problem been reported to Microsoft?
