What would the point of file locks be if you could simply ignore them? It would be like having a lock on a door and beside it a button saying "If you don't have a key push this button to open the door".

Re-architect your code so that you don't keep the file locked, or have a mechanism where you can tell whatever is locking the file to unlock it when you want to delete it.
