There are 2 options.

First: Your code runs and never closes the file. For that time it is considered a temp file which needs to be closed to get its real name. So try closing the file right after writing in it.

Second: You're looking in the wrong folder and an old file which has been created somewhen before

It only happens when i try to create file with extension .xlsx . When i try .txt or .xls files are created properly – Adam Hlaváček Mar 12 '19 at 13:20
