Managing GBMS Repository Locks
In a GBMS repository, a file is associated with each lock. When private workspaces are deleted manually, certain files may persist despite lock deletion.
A folder with more than 1000 files:
• is costly to manage for Windows

To delete locks that persist, for example after deletion of a user private workspace:
Delete locks for a user whose private workspace has been manually deleted.
