 <p>In my case I solved it by manually deleting a record in the SQLite ".svn\wc" file lock record in the WC_LOCK table.</p> <p>I opened the "WC" file with SQLite editor and executed</p> <pre><code>delete from WC_LOCK </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4kHDR.png" alt="screenshot showing all entries purged from WC_LOCK"></p> <p>Following <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/127932/working-copy-xxx-locked-and-cleanup-failed-in-svn#comment27331761_12326057">eakkas</a>'s comment, you might need to delete all the entries from <code>WORK_QUEUE</code> table as well.</p>
