How to delete lock files after cell is closed?

How can I do it?

setenv DD_DONT_DO_OS_LOCKS

that does not help, I am not sure if there is a specific way to tell cadence not to  leave lock files after the cell (no matter which cell) has been closed?

    Hi Andrew,

    May I ask you about the situation you mentioned in the responce, "virtuoso has exited abnormally"

    I recently had a system crash, such that Virtuoso also got crashed.

    After that, when i tried to open Virtuoso, the previous schematic that was opeining before the system crash, they all got a lock and i can not edit them.

    I tried Close Data in CIW and restart Virtuoso but did not work.

    Can you please help with this issue?

    Thank you very much
