    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    save-as overwrite

    Excel Office 365 - Saving file over network share overwriting with a different filename

    User is working over a Network Share and when she saves, sometimes it will overwrite with a different filename that's already on the share. User can cancel the overwrite but sometimes it's too quick to cancel and you lose the overwritten files name.

    Example:

    Test.xlsx (hit save)

    Test1.xlsx (in that same folder)

    When Test.xlsx is saving, it changes the filename to Test1.xlsx and overwrites the file with the info from Test.xlsx. Has happened quite a few times but not consistently with every save.
