"clear all" should be enough. Locked files shouldn't be a problem for 
m-files.
I don't know if it's possible to lock an oct-file, but if yes, then it 
might be problem;
however, I guess the file is only locked when the code is actually 
executed; so
by restarting octave and then "pkg uninstall", it should be OK.
