It will remove the lock if and only if its locked becuase say urpmi has crashed or is runing and you cant see it... it just removes it by peacfully killing (kill -5) the process ... however if the process died and left it it wont work...

 

its also a bad habit to get into becuase you never know WHY it worked...

much better to look for the process with a

ps -ef or ps -aux

and then kill it and if needed remove the lock file!
