    Description

      Not sure what component is responsible for this. My workflow often is:

      1. Add some CMake stuff. Does not change anything, so it must be cached.
      2. Try to delete the build folder. QtCreator has a lock. Close the related/all projects. QtCreator still has the lock
      3. After closing QtCreator I'm finally able to delete my build folder
      4. Start QtCreator again

      Now I have to do this every time CMake tries to be smart and caches some value Using Windows powertoys File Locksmith:

      This lock persists as long as QtCreator is open.
