Steps to reproduce
Remove-Item throws Attempted to divide by zero on PS 7.5.0.preview.3 when removing items from folder where some of files are empty and locked by other processes (like VSCode):
- Start
VSCodeor other process that locks files in user'sLOCALAPPDATA\Tempfolder Remove-Item -Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Temp\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction Ignore -Verbose
This does not throw on PowerShell 7.4.2 or PowerShell 5.1
Possible cause
I guess this might have something to do with new progress bar for Remove-Item?
Workaround
The error is gone when I disable the progress bar with $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
Expected behavior
No error is thrownActual behavior
PS C:\> Remove-Item -Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Temp\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction Ignore
