I have noticed pad lock icons at the folder level when viewing the Revit Server through the administrator. Within the folders there are no locked projects and I cannot seem to rename the projects. It is not posible to remove the pad locks (at least through the administrator. All the projects work with out any problems. Has anyone else experienced this?

Check the Revit Server project root folder for the super.lock file. Incomplete creation of new models can leave entries in this superlock file. Also, manual locking of folders from the Revit Server Adminstrator will also add entries to this text file. This file is zero kb by default. Either clear the contents in this file, or rename it. It is best to do this when no one is creating new models, automated Revit Server tool processes, or other concurrent administrative tasks.

Otherwise, look for potentially orphaned lock files in the project file folder: Data_Users.lock, Permissions_Users.lock.
Either clear the contents in this file, or rename it.
