Unable to open document (or deleting it)

[Anonymous]

Im trying to open a report (and also deleting it) that's on my desktop and it doesn't let me. It shows the following message:

I've alredy read this posts solutions, and didn't work:

• https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Unable-to-open-document/m-p/353656#M159150
  • As you can see my file name doesn't have special characters
• https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Unable-to-open-PowerBI-document/m-p/173...
  • I'm already logged into my account

I've also tried by deleting it from my online workspace, and from my desktop and doesn´t work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, you said you cannot open or delete the pbix file, do you mean right-clicking on the file, then deleting? 

Which account did you login to Windows? Does it have permission on this file?

Best Regards,

Teige

Hi @TeigeGao ,

Yes, I am logged on the same account in which the file was created (my own account) and it has Admin. permission.

Thanks,

I finally solved it by overwriting the .pbix file!

Hope this helps others who have same issue.
