CLion not unloading library loaded with LoadLibraryA on FreeLibrary

In my game engine I am dynamically loading a shared library using:

pModule = LoadLibraryW(modulePath.wstring().c_str());

when I detect file changes to the libraries source, I first unload the library using

FreeLibrary((HMODULE)pModule);
SetDllDirectory(NULL);

and then trigger a recompile. However this is where it errors with:

LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open [...]\Projects\EditorGame\build\module.dll for writing

If I run the program without debugging and then trigger a rebuild, the program compiles and links successfully. This suggests that CLion is keeping reference to module.dll in its debugger.

Is there anyway to force CLion to unload the .dll?
