Sharepoint Designer “checked out” problem

Sometimes in Sharepoint Designer showing “checked out” even though they were not!

To solve this problem, You need to clear a local web cache. This Works in SharePoint Designer 2007 and SharePoint Designer 2010.

Areas to clear:

• %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
• %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\

In WInXP

• %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
