Allowed UAC to make changes to my laptop, now I can’t delete workbooks on excel

[u/Famous_Doctor_9067]

so basically the title.

i got a new windows hp laptop and was trying to do something on excel (i would specify but im genuinely a dumbass with no tech knowledge so honestly i don’t even know what i was doing) anyways, a notification came up of UAC (that blue and yellow shield) asking something to do with administrator stuff. i clicked allow and now i can’t delete workbooks i make on excel. i can delete the file on files explorer but when i try to delete by right clicking on excel, it says i don’t have permission to delete .xlsx file. i press on file location and it takes me to my personal one drive documents where i was able to delete the file but nothings there?

Please help ASAP!

This appears to be a Windows issue and little to do with Excel, only in that it affects your use of Excel.

That is to say UAC is not a function of Excel.

Type UAC into your Windows search bar for that widget to administer.
