Close Lightroom Classic. Go to the folder where your catalog file [yourcatalogname].lrcat is saved. By default, Lightroom Classic saves catalogs in the following folders: Windows: Users[user name]PicturesLightroom Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom where [user name] is the user id with which you are logged in. Move the [yourcatalogname].lrcat.lock file to the Trash (macOS) or Recycle Bin (Windows), if it is present at this folder location. Caution: Do not delete or move the main [yourcatalogname].lrcat file. Relaunch Lightroom Classic. If your catalog opens successfully, you can empty the Trash (macOS) or Recycle Bin (Windows).
