Webpack Watch Freezes Periodically After Running Plugin

[pihish]

I run webpack --watch with the clean Webpack plugin configured. Clean webpack plugin does what it's supposed to do most of the time, but every once in a while Webpack freezes and compilation / watch stops. The last outputted message in terminal is:

clean-webpack-plugin /c/myuser/project/build has been removed

When I check my folder, the contents have indeed been deleted. It seems like Webpack loses its place and watch freezes. Webpack watch is still running in terminal, but no more compilation takes place when I change any of my source files.

This only happens when I have clean webpack plugin running.

Has anyone else run into this issue? I am running Windows 10.
