Unlock all Azure file share locks

I have an Azure file share (SMB) with files. When I try to rename/delete a file I get an "The specified resource may be in use by an SMB client" error. There are multiple servers that connect to this SMB share and I have no way of telling which server or which process has the lock. How can I unlock this file or how can I release all file locks currently in use?

Solution 1:

I found a solution for this problem, however I do not think this is the 'normal' way to do so:

• edit the 'Firewalls and virtual networks' section of the storage account and set it to 'Selected Networks'
• do not assign any IP addresses/ranges or remove existing ones
• wait for 30 minutes
• set the 'Firewalls and virtual networks' section of the storage account and set it to the original setting or 'All Networks'
• The connection from the external server is disconnected and the lock is gone
