How to unlock (delete) a locked node?

[Marco Vitolini Naldini]

I'm currently working with an old scene which contains some old finalRender nodes (frEndingFRI etc.).
Because of that, I always get error warnings while loading the scene and maya won't let me save in .ma-fileformat.
When I try to delete these nodes, there is always the "Cannot delete locked node" message.
So, how do I unlock them?

Thanks,
Marco

string $gffu[] = `ls -sl`;

for ($rfo in $gffu) 

{

lockNode -lock off $rfo;

delete $rfo; 

}

you could try something like this python script:

import maya.cmds as mc


######### unlock all nodes
allNodes = mc.ls()
for node in allNodes:
    mc.lockNode(node, l=False)

I once had issues with this when I was dealing with locked references that had been imported, which could not get removed via scripting from within Maya. I resorted to running an external script on the .ma file, and that solved it for me.

The script:

It's interesting that this subject has come up. I've been using Maya since it came out, and for some reason I have never had this issue (knowingly) come up, until about a week ago. Very strange and now I see other people having this issue too. I'm sure it's not a new issue, just thought it odd..

Hmmm, somehow my "thank you mail" from yesterday didn't make it through, so next try:

Hey, that was fast! 

Thanks Kiryha and Yaleh, it worked!
No more error messages are bugging me!

Thanks again,
Marco
