Oh dear,
In the excitement of finding out that someone else possibly had the
problem I forgot to add.

Whats common? - Started after a SQLite test gnu version 4.6 . SQL
directory was set to be different to the XML directory.
- since gnucash 4.9 that SQL directory has
been deleted but issue still remains
I follow the standard process of installing the newest version directly
on top of the previous version. (Seems to be the standard process.)
I have tried to uninstall the previous version but no different. I
suspect that there is something that I cannot find or that are hidden
that I cannot remove as I don't know where.
It would be nice if the uninstall process did give the option of delete
anything that was hidden from normal beings view. i.e do a clean
install.

We need more information to hazard a guess whether your issue is the
same as that of Gyle or if it is just similar.
Do you save your data file on a hard drive? Do you encrypt it?
Do you use cloud storage for backup?
Do you use Windows or another OS?
Can you think of any other commonality when the lock file is not
deleted?

This is interesting.
I have had this problem of gnucash intermittently not removing the
LOCK
file for some time.
My method of closing gnucash is firstly to save the data and the
close
using the menu. I always follow this process and never use the 'X'
method.
August 24, 2021 gnucash ver 4.6, I investigated using SQLlite
instead of
the compressed XML for data storage.
SQLite worked but the resultant file(s) were much larger than the
XML
compressed version so I decided to continue to use the compressed
XML.
From that date (August 24, 2021) to today I still get gnucash
intermittently not removing the LOCK file.
This includes ver4.7, ver4.8 and ver4.9. It may happen ver4.6 but
unsure.
Ever time I updated I hoped it would resolve the issue but it still
happens.
About 20 days ago I deleted the SQL subdirectory and files from my
local
data disk. This seemed to make no difference to the issue.
