Unable to save Power BI file with user-mapped section open

Hi, 

 

I've been unable to save my Power BI file (even if no changes have been made) to my local disk, which is backed up to OneDrive. Prior to yesterday I never had this issue. This doesn't happen on my other reports. I've tried redownloading Power BI, removing certain data sources and certain visuals yet still no luck. I have no idea what it means by having a user-mapped section open. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @emccormack1,

I'd like to suggest you check device security settings or other applications operations to confirm if they lock up or occupy your files. If that is the case, they may cause can't modify and operate on the locked files.

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
