ERROR: Pacman lock file was found or endlessly is running message.

I was able to lock Pacman up so I was not able to do anything that involved it. There were to different errors that appeared "ERROR: Pacman lock file was found. Cannot run while pacman is running." and endless "Pacman is currently in use, please wait.". The solution was to force delete the lock.
