File Recovery

I am having a mysterious problem. I have a file named "Investment-Sub-Ledger-Jan-2033.xlsx". However, when I change the file name to "Investment-Sub-Ledger-Feb-2033.xlsx" save, close and try to reopen I am getting the message below.

When I select "yes" i am getting this message:

This is very puzzling to me since all I have done is change the file name from "Jan -2023" to "Feb-2023"

 

Can anyone assist.

Thanks.

Hi @MykalJ 

 

You may try opening the old file and using File > Save As to save it as another file with the new name. This may work.
