Files I create falsely showing as locked by Admin
I have many processes that I have created and run through Excel VBA. These processes will save versions of workbooks, or Word files, or PowerPoint files onto my hard drive. Part of these processes is to clear any other files that may have been created the day before.
Here's the problem... randomly when I go to delete some of these files in Windows Explorer, it will tell me I have to have administrator credentials to proceed, even though this is a file that I created on my own hard drive. Other times I can delete them all with no issues. If I reboot, then usually the lock will go away and I can delete the file. Also, I cannot go into the properties and take ownership of it.
Any ideas?
