Xcell and word files are open and locked on my desktop.

My excel and word documents are locked on my desktop. I cannot close them or open them. They just sit there. I got a window that asked me to do something... whatever I did locked everything I was working on.


MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
