I converted a PDF to word in order to copy the text out to a new blank document and now I cannot delete the document. The PDF is in a shared folder. Did the share access stay with the converted document. It tells me it is locked and someone has it open. the word document is in my working folder which is not shared.

Hi carollynnk085,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

As mentioned, you converted the PDF to Word. This should not be happening. Please try closing both applications once, ending all tasks for both applications on the Task Manager, and then trying again. 

If the issue still occurs, please let us know where you save the file once you convert it to Word. Did you get any error messages? If yes, share the screenshot.

 

Feel free to let us know if you need any help.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
