The file names listed appear to have more than one date stamp:

"1223GNUCASH.gnucash.20...0103063517.gnucash.LCK
1223GNUCASH.gnucash.201...cash.20220103114501.log "

That would imply the last stamp before the '.gnucash.LCK' and '.log' extensions were the stamp when they were made, (which you are describing) but it appears there is an earlier stamp as part of the filename. ('1223GNUCASH.gnucash.20...' & '1223GNUCASH.gnucash.201...cash')

In that is the case, these are locks and logs of backup files, meaning Steve is working in a backup file, not the original.

If Steve provides those full names without truncation, I'd bet that would show this to be the case.

Adrien

Actually, every time you save, Gnucash makes a timestamped backup file. So 
Steve is deleting each of his backups.
