Excel 365 Windows 10 how to prevent hidden files creation? cannot delete w/o Admin Right

104 Views Asked by At

How to prevent hidden files sometimes created by Excel 365? Following Document properties are identical to my Excel Workbooks:

  1. names same but prefixed with '~'.
  2. location same

How to remove these files listed by cmd-dir but not found by cmd-del? Disk Clean-up (Temporary Files same Size afterwards) unable to remove said files. w/o Admin Right to chkdsk NOR Error-Check...

Example of such file (which is not a system file but still cannot be replaced nor delete) is:

T:\English\Old English>dir *.* >  ~$EnglishOld.xlsx
Access is denied.

This is a showstopper for Power Bi operation as described in
