SharePoint Designer shows a file as checked out while it is not

Issue: SharePoint designer shows a file as checked out while it is not, also it won't let you Check-in or Undo check-out.

To fix this issue (tested it with SP Designer 2013):

1. Navigate to the folder (tested the path on Windows 7):
     C:\Users\**YourLoginName**\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache

 2. Delete the files related to your SharePoint site (the entire folder with the same name as that of your     SP site). Please note that deleting all the folders will clear the list of Recently accessed sites as        well.
3. Restart SharePoint Designer.

4. You may have to Check-in the files one more time. You may encounter an error message but the Check-Out flag will be cleared.
