VS Code locks folders on Windows, preventing deletion/rename

[connor4312]

          @connor4312 still happening for me on 2.3.5

Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:50430/e64e9856-b975-4bd9-845e-bf063bce0df1

Downloading VS Code insiders from https://update.code.visualstudio.com/latest/win32-x64-archive/insider
Downloading VS Code [==============================] 100%
Error downloading, retrying (attempt 1 of 3): EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\jgrote\Projects\vscode-adapter\.vscode-test\vscode-win32-x64-archive-insiders.tmp' -> 'C:\Users\jgrote\Projects\vscode-adapter\.vscode-test\vscode-win32-x64-archive-insiders'

Weirdly, when I go to manually delete the tmp folder, I get an admin popup

not sure what kind of permissions weirdness may be happening here, they look normal to me in the properties and are set to inherit.

EDIT: The popup appears to be because vscode still has a handle open in that folder. Killing the process and it works. Maybe related?

EDIT2: If I start the test outside vscode, e.g. from windows terminal, it works fine, so something in vscode holding a handle in that folder it shouldn't be?
