I'm having trouble with an Excel file on my Windows computer. I can't seem to delete it or make any changes because it keeps saying that the product needs to be activated first, and I have no idea how to do that. The file is locked, and I really want to either add new information or just remove it completely from my PC. I've already tried moving it to a USB stick, but I still can't access it. What should I do?

Have you checked what error message you get when trying to delete the file? If it's grayed out, it might be a permission issue or a process still using it.
Activation for Excel typically means you need to pay for a subscription, like Microsoft 365. But if you're looking for an alternative, you can try using LibreOffice, which is free and might let you work with that file without any issues.
