using the code below (some parts not included), I create a new excel

I then want to delete a spreadsheet, but a reference remains open and

how to release that reference? thanks

You already posted the same question before, the answer remains the same, you need to
release all references to Excel objects before you Quit, also, you need to Close the
Workbook before Saving and you need to Save before Quitting.
It really makes no sense to post only part of the code, please post a small but complete
sample that illustrates the issue.
You also have to tell us in what context you are running this code, here I mean, from a
client or from a service like application.

Sorry, but you don't come up with a complete sample, how can we answer your question "is
there a (hidden?) reference in these 3 lines that isn't handled here?", if you don't post
the full code or at least a small but complete sample that illustrates the issue.
Also, please answer the question regarding the context and type of this application, is it a
console like a Windows like application, or is it something that runs from a Service? It's
important to answer these, before one can give "constructi ve advise".
