If you are running a script and not doing the process line-by-line, then you shouldn't have issues with locks. You might want to try deleting the python variables if you have them.   Most IDE's have a 'delete variable names' and a restart kernel (like Spyder) so you don't need a complete shutdown of the IDE (although it provides a suitable coffee break time) ...

raster to other format in the environments tab, don't build pyramids or statistics export to tif delete the tfw and the other files keeping the tif. open the tif file in a text editor, for the most part it will be binary, but the spatial reference information is inside If you want it to never create anything other than the tif... you can code the deletion above or use imagery software Just use the tif works for me more reading World files for raster datasets—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation  Introduction to exporting a map or layout—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation  TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) TIFF files are the best choice for importing into image editing applications and are also a common GIS raster data format. However, they cannot be natively viewed by a web browser. TIFFs also support georeferencing information in GeoTIFF tags or in a separate world file for use as raster data. ... View more

You missed Jake's point... they "can" have their georeferencing builtin, but some don't, hence your aux files TIFF files are the best choice for importing into image editing applications and are also a common GIS raster data format. However, they cannot be natively viewed by a web browser. TIFFs also support georeferencing information in GeoTIFF tags or in a separate world file for use as raster data. some options when exporting them Write world file In the same location as the exported map, generate a separate world file that contains georeference information. This allows the exported image to be used as raster data in ArcGIS Pro or other GIS applications. Write GeoTIFF tags Add GeoTIFF information directly to the TIF header. This allows the exported image to be used as raster data in ArcGIS Pro or other GIS applications. There are many other links in the help regarding tiffs depending where they are coming from or how they got there (eg las data) and whether you want to use them as raster data sources etc ...

My preference is to work local and backup to the cloud.  Some people like to skip the step.  Local works, sometimes the 'cloud' doesn't (don't know why exactly... water droplets?, particulate matter? ). Save yourself some grief and just do it.  I wouldn't even allow my students to work with stuff from One Drive or other virtual things.  Work local, backup to where-ever you want. and by local I mean you can reach inside your computer and touch the drive (ie C: or maybe even a 😧 drive) In your case, your 'virtual drive (J)' worked.  What you were missing is the 'workspace' line.  You will notice that it created a *.dbf file in a folder (virtual or not).  If you had specified a file geodatabase, you would have had a gdb table. ...

You will have to show the edited code. Also, if you are using full paths, make sure you are 'raw encoding them'  ie with the little r in front of the path name because there are many things that will cause paths to fail. The J drive... hopefully not a thumb drive, some cloudy-thing or something other than a real hard drive on a your local machine?! Next thing to try, is some other spreadsheet other than the one you want to test in case there is something wrong with that file. Again, try an xls rather than an xlsx I could go on, but you have many things to troubleshoot before you are done. ... View more
