Options you can try:

1 - Try selecting the break lock option during clean up. Select the break lock option

2 - Try to steal the lock. Look at the image. Try to steal the lock This will show you the lock status and should allow you to steal the lock and commit.

3 - You can "break the lock" at the server. I am not sure how to do this using the GUI but following is the command:

svn unlock --force http://svn.example.com/repos/project/trunk/somefile.txt
'somefile.txt' unlocked.
