icml issue, can't edit file, how can I undo?

[Alisonloshi]

I was trying to save the text from a file, and created a bunch of .icml files (even though I hit cancel a bunch of times). Later, I threw away the icml files, since I found a way to just save the text as rtf.  BUT now I can't edit the file. Is there a way to revert the file to something that I can edit? When I try to edit it it says "Unable to check out this file. It may be in use by someone else". It still has the normal .indd ending ... 

Thank you!!

In the Links panel, select the icml files and right click > Break link (or something equivalent, I have a French version)

Or,..from the assignments panel, select them all and delete them.
