Excel, save and close after run

how can I save the below script after it has run?

Script is from: Powershell Disk Usage Report

$erroractionpreference = "SilentlyContinue"
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True 

$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)

$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = "Server Name"
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = "Drive"
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = "Total Size (GB)"
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = "Free Space (GB)"
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = "Free Space (%)"

$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True

$intRow = 2

$colComputers = get-content "c:\servers.txt"
foreach ($strComputer in $colComputers)
{
$colDisks = get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk -computername $strComputer -Filter "DriveType = 3" 
foreach ($objdisk in $colDisks)
{
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $strComputer.ToUpper()
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $objDisk.DeviceID
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = "{0:N0}" -f ($objDisk.Size/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = "{0:N0}" -f ($objDisk.FreeSpace/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 5) = "{0:P0}" -f ([double]$objDisk.FreeSpace/[double]$objDisk.Size)
$intRow = $intRow + 1
}
}

According to https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/919459dc-3bce-4242-bf6b-fdf37de9ae18/powershell-will-not-save-excel-file, this will work, but I am unable to:

Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
$xlFixedFormat = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlWorkbookDefault
$Excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application

$Excel.Visible = $true

################
$Excel.workbooks.OpenText($file,437,1,1,1,$True,$True,$False,$False,$True,$False)
$Excel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs($env:tmp + "\myfile.xls", $xlFixedFormat)

$Excel.Workbooks.Close()
$Excel.Quit()

How do you undo steps in Excel after save and close?

If the document is still open, you can simply click the Undo button on the Quick Access Toolbar or use its shortcut 'Ctrl+Z' to return to the state before you made any changes, and then save again.

How do you make Excel ask to save before closing?

Press Windows logo key and the R key to open the Run window. 2.In the Run box, type command: excel /safe and click OK. 3. When Excel is in safe mode, make some changes in the workbook, check if you will get the save prompt when closing the workbook.

This worked for me :

$workbook.Close($false)
$excel.Quit()

[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($workSheet)
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($excel)

Remove-Variable -Name excel
