Hi,

What version of Office did you use?

Where did you save the Excel files? Local or OneDrive?

Do all files have this issue?

Make sure all users have full permission access the folder, they can delete and write files in the shared folder.

If you're using Office 365, please refer to this support article about "Collaborate with Microsoft 365":
