Hi @anupgupta12 ,
This is because someone else (or yourself) has the file open or is editing the file.
You need to ensure your file is closed and nobody is accessing it when you run your workflow.
Alternatively, this could be because you are trying to overwrite a file that has a locked combination of cells, so the owner of the workbook has prevented anyone from overwriting it.

But the file is closed and I have not locked it. I have also restarted my system. Don't know what's wrong.

check within the file, I'm assuming it's Excel, that you don't have protected cells. If you do, Excel will stop Alteryx from overwriting that area.

So you will need to remove the cell protection to allow Alteryx to overwrite the file.
