Find locked files in Mac OS X (via Terminal)

Open Terminal.

type: find /Users/youraccountname/ -flags uchg

This will search your home directory for any file that is locked (user locked, or ‘immutable’ flag).

Got this great info from the manual pages of ‘find’ and ‘chflags’.
man find
man chflags

Happy hunting for those “locked” files!
