Hello, I would like to also open this topic again. I have tried solution above and even when I had opened file I go info about not locked file. But, the worst is, that I was able these 2 files delete, but Alteryx is sending me a message that it is unable to open for read. What can be the reason and how to fix it, please?

"Error: MacroReadExcels (172): Record #49: Tool #4: Unable to open file for read: ...\Alteryx_Inputs\~$KPI_Execution-excellence_P06.xlsx
" the rest of 46 files is working. And we where not able to reiterate this case
