Bug description

I am unable to remove a file lock.

There is an associated conflict file, which I cannot delete. There is no popup menu delete option.

Every time I open the file it presents 2 options: Keep the local version or keep the server option. I select Keep the local version. Nothing seems to happen. And I cannot remove the lock. And I cannot delete the conflict file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Don't know how to produce this condition

Expected behavior

I expect to remove a lock regardless of what transpires. I should ALWAYS be able to do this.
Also, I should be able to delete any file I choose and when I choose.
The software should NEVER prevent me from doing any of these actions.
