I have tried to update MyBB and have now got the following error message
The install directory (install/) still exists on your server and is not locked. To access MyBB please either remove this directory or create an empty file in it called 'lock'.
Where do I find this?
In the ./install/ folder...??
It's in your file system...
Just delete the ./install/ folder and you'll be fine.
Or you can also create a lock file. Just create a file named "lock" with no extension.
Or rename the install folder to something random.

It would still be a good idea to delete it instead of renaming it.
Thanks guys. I did find it in the end and I just deleted it all together and now everything is up and running again which is a relief.
I did think it was a bit misleading because I had locked it in the previous version but completly forgot this time and I didn't see it mentioned this time when updating.
It would have said to lock or remove the install folder at the end of the upgrade, it says this if it wasn't able to lock it automatically.
