TortoiseSVN write-lock error?

Wanted to merge my branch back into the main trunk today. Haven't worked on this project for a week and haven't done any commits, etc. in that time-frame. Attempted to do a switch from the branch back to the trunk and get this error:

No write-lock in 'Y:\Website\_Working Copy\app'

I've never had or seen this issue in the past and can't find any documentation on what is going wrong...what could this be and what can I try?

Also, I just upgraded TortoiseSVN & SVN to latest versions to see if that would repair a damaged file but no-go.

How do you break the lock in TortoiseSVN?

To release a lock manually, select the file(s) in your working copy for which you want to release the lock, then select the command TortoiseSVN → Release Lock There is nothing further to enter so TortoiseSVN will contact the repository and release the locks.

I was switching from a branch to trunk and just got the same error.

With TortoiseSvn, I was able to do a "Clean Up" and that fixed the issue for me.
