The way you take care of that is you give it a signal 9 kill and
this will release the locks process because one of them will be

Please only use kill -9 as a last resort.
If alpine is still running, kill -HUP will be sufficient and will
allow it to syncronize all open folders and remove locks safely.
kill -9 can leave files in unknown, unsafe states and destroy data.
This is as bad as what the locks are trying to avoid.
