Thanks Michael, those are fair caveats to my recommendation. I shall endeavor to remember that and not assume folks only keep GnuCash data and nothing else in a particular folder.

BE CAREFUL --- this control of a resource by having the existence of a lock file indicate "resource in use" is a VERY common solution to restricting use to "a single concurrent user" (allow multiple sequential access but not multiple simultaneous access). OTHER applications might be creating .lck files besides gnucash. So.......

1) Delete "any" .lck files only if you have your gnucash files in a directory reserved for just the.

2) Otherwise --- before deleting a .lck file make sure it is not a lock file from some other application.
