Sometimes one can simply remove these files before starting the instance again. But sometimes the .lock file is locked by a hanging Python process, and can't be deleted. While we are trying to spot and squash the bug causing this, here is a tip:
* Install the command line utility "handle" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx
* As Administrator, run "handle instance.lock", the pid of the hanging Python process will be printed
* From PowerShell: "kill <pid>" (e.g. "kill 12345")
