Intermittent System.IO Errors During Build, Rebuild, and Clean Operations

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
Hello,

I am encountering an intermittent issue with Visual Studio 2022 during the build, rebuild, and clean operations for any project. The problem does not occur consistently, but when it happens, it throws System.IO errors such as:
"File in use by another process"
"The directory is not empty"
These errors are unpredictable and can happen across various projects. Often, simply retrying the operation (build, rebuild, or clean) resolves the issue.

Here are some additional details about the problem:

• The issue appears with any project type.
• It occurs regardless of whether I am building, rebuilding, or cleaning the project.
• No other applications seem to be accessing the files in question when the error occurs.

This is an example of log:

This issue was moved to dotnet/runtime#110328

[mattleibow]

May be fixed with #25374

But, do you have multiple projects with images that have the same name? It may be a case where a class library has a MauiImage and the app also has a MauiImage, and if they have the same name then the app will try and generate the different images with the same name at the same time.

However, the PR does add a bit of delay and retry logic that will help in other cases where the IDE and tooling builds are locking files.

But, do you have multiple projects with images that have the same name?

No, I'm using only one project running from an external HDD.

We also ran into this issue while using VS in the past. Recently, I ran into once on VS 17.13 Preview 3.0 (MAUI: 9.0.14)
