It basically does the same thing as the other answer, but via a GUI and you don’t have to manually remove all files/dirs one-by-one. If using a 3rd-party application is OK, check out App Cleaner. Step 2: rm -rf $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Code This worked for me ( VS Code 1.30 with MacOS – High Sierra 10.13.6 ) vscode/, or code/, or Visual Studio Code.app. Looking through the entire file structure, VSCode name folder different. That folder contains all the setting and is not overwrite with a new installation. The solution to my problem was to cd to the following path… /Users//Library/Application\ Support and delete the folder called Code. Maybe you want to keep extension directories. To get rid of everything make sure you look for those too. Update (Feb 2020): There are potentially also hidden extension directories in your home directories. Rm -fr ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State//

Rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/ Here are all the places where VSCode stores stuff on Mac OS X, besides the Visual Studio Code.app itself, which is in your Applications folder: rm -fr ~/Library/Preferences/.plist

Does anyone know how to completely uninstall VSCode from mac?įollowing this instructions and new installation of vscode keeps remembering the last project I opened. I went to the documentation but can’t find anything about uninstalling the editor.


For me, that means that it is something else I need to delete but I can’t find it. However, after deleting all that and download a fresh copy, I installed and open the editor and the editor remembered the last project I had. I also delete the Visual Studio Code.app/ from /. I need to clean install vscode on my mac.
