com.docker.backend.exe is locking random files in latest stable release

[Strandedpirate]

• I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)

Expected behavior

Files not to be randomly locked by docker.

Actual behavior

Random files are being locked.

This script worked fine prior to install of latest stable release:

===============================
Removing files via git clean...
===============================
git clean -Xfd wordpress
Unlink of file 'wordpress/wp-links-opml.php' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)

Information

• Windows Version:
  

• Docker Desktop Version:
  

• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or on a mac VM: no

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. git clean -Xfd wordpress
2. random files are locked by com.docker.backend.exe

Most likely related to issues in #5567

I am having the same issue with 2.2.0.3 (42716).

We think this has now been fixed in our master branch.
Here is a link to a Stable 2.2.0.4 RC build which fixes a few more issues related to file sharing: https://download-stage.docker.com/win/stable/43291/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe
If you can reproduce your issue with it we would very much like a diagnostic (Troubleshoot windows from the systray menu) and/or reproduction steps.

Many thanks!

File lock issue is gone but now another issue is present:

[mat007]

@hardcoremore it’s hard to tell what this is about with just a screenshot, could you explain what you’re doing and upload a diagnostic (Troubleshot window from the systray menu)?
Thanks!

[hardcoremore]

Well I am trying just to delete the file. Both host (windows) and container are telling me that file does not exists. How can I Troubleshot window from the systray menu?

[mat007]

I can see you’re trying to delete a file, but I have no idea how that involves Docker Desktop or what you were doing with containers before you got that issue.

[hardcoremore]

I have uploaded diagnostic. Check it out here: #5985

File was created with php inside container. I tried to delete it from host (windows) and file is visible inside explorer but could not be deleted because it says that file could not be found. Also file could not be deleted from inside container as well. It also says that file does not exists.

The original issue in this ticket is fixed in 2.2.0.4. The new issue is unrelated but is now being dealt with in #5985, so I'll close this ticket.
