Hey guys,
I am sort of new to using Arch Linux so forgive my lack of knowlege on this subject.
When i try and "sudo pacman -Syu" to update everything, i get this error:

And i don't know what to do.
I tried locating the file and deleting it, but it wouldn't let me.

I suspect you're trying to remove the lock file as an unpriviledged user (read: not root).
Also, did you really need to post an image of the terminal output? Could you not have copied and pasted the terminal output between code tags?

If you are sure there are no other pacman processes open, just delete the file using the cli:
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
