node_modules/@types cannot be deleted on Windows

[Tyriar]

Workaround: Run this command to release the lock on the file:

Issue Type: Bug

Probably related to automatic type acquisition. I've been seeing this frequently only on Windows:

yarn install v1.10.1

PS D:\dev\Tyriar\xterm.js>

This is what explorer tells me when I try to go to that folder:

When I close vscode, the @types folder deletes itself.

I also see this issue but I have typescript.disableAutomaticTypeAcquisition: true set, I install all @types manually.

Sometimes I see similar problem (but with random folders/files inside node_modules), closing vscode doesn't help, explorer shows unknown folder/file owner. Unmounting and then mounting volume helps. I think it's some ntfs bug.

This is how I've been seeing this most of the time:

Moving upstream as the lock does seem to be held by the TS Server. Here's the process I see with a handle to the @types dir:

"C:\Users\matb\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\Code - Insiders.exe" "c:\Users\matb\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\resources\app\extensions\node_modules\typescript\lib\tsserver.js" --useInferredProjectPerProjectRoot --enableTelemetry --cancellationPipeName C:\Users\matb\AppData\Local\Temp\vscode-typescript\tscancellation-bdabea66566bf0537af9.tmp* --logVerbosity verbose --logFile "c:\Users\matb\AppData\Roaming\Code - Insiders\logs\20190102T150306\exthost1\vscode.typescript-language-features\tsserver-log-AfClj4\tsserver.log" --locale en --noGetErrOnBackgroundUpdate

This really makes the experience bad on Windows, any time I git clean i need to reload the vscode window.
