A Rhino crash locked up the .3dm file - what to do?

Rhino
1

Hello!
R7 - I tried to attach another Rhino file that contained various linked 3dm files, which resulted in a crash that also locked the Rhino file. (Why would I want to do that: because I want to keep the file small, and relocate the origin of all the linked files together).
I tried restarting the computer, but to no avail. When I open the file, I get the error message “File is currently in use by user “…me…” on computer “… mine…”. File will be opened in read-only mode.”

Any hack to break this loose?
Of course I could continue working with a copy, but I want/need to maintain the file name.

Btw. no crash in R8.

Thanks!

You can delete the .rhl lock file.

Thanks!
There is no .rhl file… really.

They are normally “hidden,” you need to set Windows Explorer to show all files.

You’re right! There was a hidden .rhl file! (I forgot I’m not admin on that machine).
I deleted it, tried to open the file - same result. File is locked.
Whatthe…
Any more ideas?

Looks like I had to additionally uncheck the ‘Archive’ flag in the windows file properties…
Thanks, Jim!
