can not delete folder because lock
Dear
I use Subversion 1.6.13 recently, we want to delete a folder but fail.The
error message said there is a file name xxxx is locked by someone. try to
release lock or steal lock.
But the file already didn't exist. So we can not lock it. what happened to us?
How could we do? thanks.~
Best regards,
EdwinTai

Yes, there is a bug or unexpected feature that Subversion allows locked files to
be deleted but does not remove the locks.
This was discussed once before, here:

The above thread references a contributed script you can use to clean up these
forgotten locks.
