It's a locked PLN file -- either someone is in the PLN, or AC crashed while someone was in the file and still thinks that they're in there.

Thank you for the answer, but I try to save the file like pln, but steel the same story, This file it is only 1 KB, and even I deleted many times it still reappers. How I can get off of them?
Thanks

you shouldn't get rid of it whilst you are working! it's the lock to ensure that no one else can open and modify that project whilst it is being worked on.

if all of your archicad sessions are quit and the file still exists, you can safely delete it - it would be left over as a result of a crash or something. but don't delete it whilst you are working on the file to which it relates!!!

it's not really a suggestion. it's something that you must do to preserve the integrity of your file whilst working in it. of course, if you are a sole practitioner it may be overkill, but it will be a bad practice to get into if you keep deleting the lock file!
