How do I unlock svn?

Question

I am trying to check in a project to svn. However, I get an error message stating that this is locked. I am the only user. I tried to "clean" my project. No change.

Is there a way to force unlock?

Answer 1

This probably means your working copy is locked. Please provide the full error message for further analysis.

A locked working copy will result if you force-terminate an svn command or the command errors out uncleanly.

The quick fix is to run svn cleanup. This normally fixes broken working copies.

Answer 2

you can also go into the .svn directories and remove the lock file.
