[GNC] Exiting gnucash Lock file Vol 226, Issue 57

[David Carlson]

Peter,

Your message has gotten detached from the thread..

We need more information to hazard a guess whether your issue is the same
as that of Gyle or if it is just similar.

Do you save your data file on a hard drive?  Do you encrypt it?

Do you use cloud storage for backup?

Do you use Windows or another OS?

Can you think of any other commonality when the lock file is not deleted?
