Thread: mac excel crashes while trying to recover a file

Hello all,

Excel crashed while I was working with a file so I did force quit.
Now, whenever I try to open excel it tries to recover that file and it crashes again. I have tried to delete the file which crashed but it doesn't work.

I'm using mac office 2008

Any idea?

Thank you in advance,
Juanvi

ok. It took me some time but I found out where the Office temporary files in mac are:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 AutoRecovery/

I delete everything in that folder and now I can open excel.
