Reset Visual Studio Code | Code OSS on Linux
Raw
reset_vscode.md

Reset all user settings for VSCode (Code OSS) on Linux

(Archlinux in my case)
Reset all settings and extensions. Like a fresh and clean VSCode installation.

  • Close VSCode
  • Remove the ~/.vscode-oss folder and the ~/.config/Code - OSS/ folder

~ is a shorthand for your user folder /home/username but should work on all unix systems

Via Console:

WARNING: This will remove all your settings and installed extensions without any prompt

rm -r ~/.vscode-oss/
rm -r ~/.config/Code - OSS/
