Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

I've seen similar behavior trying to do a git reset. Even if the files aren't currently open in VS Code, but the containing folder is opened, Windows complains that it can't remove them as they are being used by another process.

I see this behavior most consistently after stopping debugging.

Can you find out which specific process holds a handle to which file in that folder? https://serverfault.com/questions/1966/how-do-you-find-what-process-is-holding-a-file-open-in-windows

Can you find out the full Command Line of that process?

@joaomoreno Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Related to nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8371 (comment), very likely won't fix any time soon.

I do not know if this is related or not - apparently vscode is not respecting .gitignore file.
In .gitignore, there is web/app/vendor line, and when running docker-compose up, it's generating files in that app/vendor directories - and apparently vscode is generating .git/refs for those files.
That causes problems - I could not remove those directories unless I exit out of vscode
