Delete rows corrupts the file

[swapniljariwala]

I have an extract from SAP file in excel and I'm simply trying to delete few initial rows, here's the script-

import openpyxl as xl
wb = xl.load_workbook("/path/to/file")
ws = wb.worksheets[0]
ws.delete_rows(0, 3)
wb.save("/path/to/file")

Here's the error thrown by excel-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
