The command:
lsof | grep "Electricity Spreadsheet.ods"

Give no output.

The User says that all the files in the directory are locked. So, I've run
lsof | grep "Water & Elec Consumption"

which gives this output:
bash      4103       root  cwd       DIR        8,2     4096
67715823 /home/patience/Water & Elec Consumption
bash      5466       root  cwd       DIR        8,2     4096
67715823 /home/patience/Water & Elec Consumption
lsof      5619       root  cwd       DIR        8,2     4096
67715823 /home/patience/Water & Elec Consumption
grep      5620       root  cwd       DIR        8,2     4096
67715823 /home/patience/Water & Elec Consumption
lsof      5621       root  cwd       DIR        8,2     4096
