Description

@rkeithhill
Issue body actions

This issue was originally filed on the Plaster project but the problem seems to be with PowerShell Core.

Steps to reproduce

PS C:\Users\Keith> $hash = (Get-FileHash .\remove.psd1).Hash
PS C:\Users\Keith> $hash
E58204D2C5BB9057A085C00D3EEC3ED96390C52A739D4ADCCC02A1B1A4DDF1B8
PS C:\Users\Keith> Remove-Item .\remove.psd1
Remove-Item : The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Keith\remove.psd1' because it is being used by another
process.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-Item .\remove.psd1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (C:\Users\Keith\remove.psd1:FileInfo) [Remove-Item], IOException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RemoveFileSystemItemIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

Expected behavior

Remove-Item should work.

Actual behavior

Remove-Item fails because apparently the execution of Get-FileHash has resulted in an open file handle on the file.
