Even when I remove the reference LOP, the alembic is still locked.
In sops I can close the scene, disable the node or delete the node to release the lock.

Hi,

I have a scene with a reference LOP that references an alembic file. While the scene is opened, I cannot overwrite the alembic file, as expected. But even when I close that scene, the alembic file cannot be overwritten. It can only be overwritten once Houdini is closed.

I have tried the same with usdview, having a usd with a reference to an alembic. While the usd file is open I cannot overwrite the alembic, but once I change the usd file to a new one, I can overwrite the alembic file.

Is there any way to unlock the alembic file without closing Houdini?
