    Dear Malishka Velani,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    We're sorry to hear about the issue encountering while deleting an Excel file in Excel web app in browser. We do understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

    We'd recommend you refer to below suggestions and hope they can help:

    1. Change to another browser with InPrivate mode.
    2. Navigate to the file location from Excel web app to delete the file from there. Image

    In the meantime, to help you better and for the further troubleshoot, we would like to collect more detailed information you're experiencing for further investigation:

    1. Does this happen to all files or the specific file? Is the file created by you or shared with you?
    2. If you are using the personal account like Gmail.com, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com etc. or a work/school account organized by your organization in Excel web app?
    3. Could you please share some screenshots of the issue encountering or error prompt with us?

    We appreciate your kind patience and understanding that the first response may not resolve the concern immediately or there may be some misunderstandings with your scenario, but we would love to hear updates to find more suggestions for you.

    Thank you for your time and cooperation. We hope you have a nice day and stay safe!
