Cannot delete word file
Using Word 2007. I have a .doc (old style) file that I have been editing and
it got caught in a quick power blip, but enough of one to cause my Windows 2007 system to reboot. Suprisingly Word 2007 recovered the text when I opened the program. I immediately attempted to save the document but Word would not do so and I was forced to save the document under a new name. After exiting Word, I attempted to delete the old document, but that failed with a message that the file was still open in Word. It was not. Even after a reboot I was unable to delete the file never having opened Word in the session. I found this reference in another posting (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/LockedFiles.htm) but in Windows 7 there is no way to find the files as described there. How can I delete the file? and... Please rewrite or update the above reference for Windows 7 -- Thanks for your help - jjk98 |
