Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.964, 1.7.1033.0

Other Software

O&O AppBuster

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to uninstall, yet again, and over and over, and every damn time windows updates, the ridiculous "YourPhone" which I will never use but consumes 256M and occasionally wakes up and eats my CPU.
That's not WindowsTerminal's fault, but the next bit is bizarre.
Have Windows Terminal open, launch O&O App Buster
https://www.oo-software.com/en/ooappbuster
and observe that WindowsTerminal has "NoiseAsset_256X256_PNG.png" from YourPhone open/locked
Killing Terminal, the uninstall completes, and Terminal seems unaffected

Expected Behavior

I would expect WindowsTerminal to not be opening/locking files from rando Microsoft apps such as "YourPhone"

Actual Behavior
