Unless you ROOT your Android phone (not advised, will break warranty, etc) there's nothing you can do to get to the "locked or hidden" files and folders.

Even if you root phone, you still might not have complete access to all files and folders.

You can do a project reset on the ones using the most space. This will free up space until it reloads files needed to run the specific project.

The directory is ./data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc
That's root/data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc with the second data directory structure hidden (and thus the BOINC directory as well).

But as said, even with the phone rooted, you will not be able to access it. Android's too well secured for that. Follow Dave's advice on resetting projects.
