Issue: The file is currently
checkout out or locked for editing by another user while delete a folder.
Background:
One of my client was trying to delete a folder which was empty and when
deleting throws above error message.
Troubleshooting:
Checked that the folder has multiple nesting i.e. there
level of nesting.
Tried to delete the folder from each nested folder
level, no success.
Tried to upload a file on the last folder and delete the
file it worked but unable to delete the folder.
Resolution: It
seems to be an issue with the corrupt file check out. You always have the
option to check-in back the files from the library which don’t have valid check
in version. To do so:
Go to Library tools.
Library settings
Under Permissions and configuration tab – Choose to
select the Manage files which have no
checked in version.
Open the page; look for the folder/file name which you
are trying to delete.
Check the box against and click take the ownership of the Selection.
If you have any
queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me
know.
I would be more than happy to
help you as well as resolves your issues, thank you.

Some users also complaint that one of my colleague uploaded a documents and it is not visible on the document library. The owner of the documents sees that the document is visible in document library and it is checked out.
If a user upload a documents for a very first time and it is not checked in it is always visible in the section shown above in the post.
Please correct me if i am wrong somewhere.
The checked out files page will only show files which have no checked in version. It is a way for a library administrator to clean up a document library. Imagine you created a new document that was only checked out to you and had no checked in version. It wouldn't show up in list views for anyone else. You have to go to that page to delete this document.
If you want to see all the checked out files in your library, you can create a new view and filter the view by “check out to” column (“check out to” column “is greater than or equal to” give a value like character A)
Hope it can help you.
