When check out is enabled, those files will get a little lock icon in onedrive and cannot be edited. Even if you uncheck certain folders containing checked out files for syncing, you cannot edit or delete local copys on your pc. They stay read-only.

Currently, checking in or out is not available through the client (only online via web browser).

AKIMF same situation here with checkin and checkout enabled. Tried removing credentials, reinstalling, and the weird thing is that sometimes it allowed me to checkout files locally synced (and locally opened) and other times it didn't.

    I think, a solution might be to reuse the old local OneDrive folder for a new installation,. so the sync with (hopefully still existing) cloud counterparts will be set up again.

    Then you could check those files in via webbrowser
