I installed Visual Studio Code a while ago, and I'm now trying to remove it. I don't remember how I installed it, but everything I've tried to remove it doesn't work. Things I've tried:
sudo umake web visual-studio-code --remove
: This says "can't remove because you don't have it installed," which I know isn't true. I was able to find the files in /home/jacob/.local/share/umake/web/visual-studio-code. Deleting those files, by the way, stops the application from running, but doesn't remove the icon from the launcher. I restored the files once I figured that out.- Removing via Software Center: It does show up in Software Center, but when I hit "remove" nothing happens.
Any other suggestions?
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list
to drop the vscode repo.sudo apt purge code
then remove the plugins byrm -rf /home/<user>/.vscode
then remove all the configuration by also removing the config byrm -rf /home/<user>/.config/Code
