Hi @usha jyothsna
This can normally happen when you close a document and the Office application does not release the information that the document is open for editing, just wait for a few minutes.
If this happens often, for a specific user, there could be some issues with the user’s Office application. Some things that can be tested, to force the file’s lock to be released are:
1.Logout from MetaShare/SharePoint and login again.
2.Open the document in the Online app and rename the file from there.
3.Check if “Upload Center” has locked this document. If so, you can unlock it from there.
4.Try to delete it and if it gets deleted, then restore it back from the recycle bin.
5.Check if there are any documents without a checked in version (this required you to log into the site with administrative permissions).
6.Go to: Library settings > Manage files which have no checked in version
