Description
Hi.
As you are all aware, there is a huge unlocking problem since Nextcloud 3.11.1. We have thousands of locked files. I want to know if there is any command that shows all the locked files that were locked by the app Temporary Files Lock, and how to unlock them all after hours.
Here is a link on how to remove locks from the database in oc_file_locks, but my database has an empty set for that table: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/file-is-locked-how-to-unlock/1883?page=2
I need to get a way just to unlock all the files that are currently locked by this app. we cannot keep up with our support to our users as everyone has problems and they are complaining about not being able to be productive cause they need to search files and unlock all day. Even files they have not worked on for years are now all of a sudden locked.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Temporary Files Lock app's lock handling and any existing administrative commands, then establish how locked files are listed and unlocked in bulk; done should provide a reliable way to perform both operations for affected users.
