Default how to unlock a file that is "locked for editing"

I altered a file that I got from someone else. There is no one else using my
computer (a laptop). I saved and closed the file (the file MIGHT have been
closed with an unplanned shutdown). Now I cannot open the file for editing
because it says it is locked by ME. How do I either open it or delete it?
thank you.
