VSCode Platformio changes code back to unedited when compiling

PlatformIO IDE
1

So, I have code for an arduino here.
I already know the edit and that it should work.
There’s just one problem with Platformio:
After I edit the code, press CTRL S to save and then click on compile/upload, the code kind off gets changed back to the original, just for it to give me that nifty error message.
As if I were to edit something in Photoshop, press CTRL Z a few times and then save the picture.

Here’s the output:

Editing files in .pio\libdeps in very volatile.

Does the same happen when you copy the SmoothThermistor folder into the lib/ folder of the project, fix the code there and clean and recompile the project a few times?

Perfect, thank you! Now it works exactly how I wanted. I will remember this tip in the future!
