Assuming FSFS.

db/locks/ contains a directory per *path component* in the locked file
(eg, three entries for /trunk/README). Likely, once created, those dirs
are only emptied, not removed (see subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/lock.c).
Therefore, an 'svn lock; svn unlock;' cycle would leave a few dirs
behind.

It's safe to remove empty dirs whilst no 'svn lock' operating is
running, or while holding an appropriate write lock.
