microsoft visual studio not deleting old extenstnios - still.. like MS systematic solution

[ManPython]

I don't see that solution is solved.. looks not.. I'm still deleting manually old extensions sometimes.. when checking what taking many GB on my disk.. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/179022 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/78107 ..don't know why tickets are closed.. what information needed.. I saw something.. this looks like new Microsoft Ideology.. bad version management.. to rezise disk space down : ) Check also (And read opinions/info about in internet): C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ C:\Windows\WinSxS C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository ..etc.. other Many.. many manyyyyyyy duplicated versions of something.. looks like systematic solution.. I know it's not related with VSC.. but maybe it is.. as privilege right issue to delete dirs, fils, etc. Last time I meet similar issue around windows client with software around update/delete.. where policy for this must be changed to add new "hash" coz files/dirs was not able deleted by app (python, standalone with update). Then.. nothing to do for client like install new version.. thats explain all :D

@ManPython We do clean up older version of extensions and uninstalled extensions. Can you please do following steps and share the requested information

• Start VS Code on a different user data directory and extensions directory in verbose mode. You can do this from CLI - code --user-data-dir <new folder 1> --extensions-dir <new folder 2> --verbose
• Install an extension and uninstall it
• Quit VS Code and restart again from CLI using above command
• Share the log - F1 > Open View... > Shared
• Quit VS Code and restart again from CLI using above command
• Share the log again - F1 > Open View... > Shared

Eg. ms-vscode.remote-explorer is not deleted as old and other, but eg. ms-python.python was deleted. Note about logs.. ms-python.python have DELETE and ms-vscode.remote-explorer not, as CHANGE

I checked the events logs windows 11 and nothing special. Note, that symlinks are used for extensions.

[sandy081]

It looks like outdated and uninstalled extensions are being deleted properly - They get deleted in max 2 restarts of VS Code. Can you please check if you do not see extensions getting deleted in more than 2 restarts?

[ManPython]

Always exist some duplication (as example), but I don't care about to much if not exist to much of this all.. : ) If this was not deleted by 1st time then next times with updates can recognize old. I think it's more MS Window issue around "connection" from OS some files/dirs.

[sandy081]

@ManPython I am not sure what you mean by the above comment.

Can you please check if you do not see extensions getting deleted in more than 2 restarts?

[ManPython]

VSC not deleting after 2,3..10 restarts : ) When old extensions is not deleted then staying and next updated giving new versions that also is not deleted.

[sandy081]

VSC not deleting after 2,3..10 restarts : )

Please do not mind asking this again. This helps us in finding out the root cause of the issue.

It would be great if you can pick an extension version that is not getting deleted

• Set the default log level to trace (F1 > Developer: Set Log Level... ) as shown in the below screenshot
• restart 3 times
• share the log (F1 > Open View... > Shared)

[ManPython]

Still this same case.. some of ext's are deleted, some not..

Not sure about: \.vscode\extensions\extensions.json.vsctmp': EntryNotFound (FileSystemError): Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'c:\Users\ManPython\.vscode\extensions\extensions.json.vsctmp' at r.create Exist extensions.json but not extensions.json.vsctmp - what is vsctmp ? Why name is other?

[sandy081]

Thanks for sharing the information

You can ignore the error about extensions.json.vsctmp - this is to write extensions.json file atmocially.

Can you please confirm that if github.copilot-chat-0.13.1 extension is not active in VS Code: You can check this by

• Open a VS Code window using default profile and check the version of the above extension
• If you have created custom VS Code profiles - please check in each profile if this version of the above extension exists in any of the custom profile.

If you confirm this extension is not active in VS Code, then please share following file in extensions folder .obsolete.

[ManPython]

On extensions list exist v0.14.0 not v0.13.1 I'm not using profiles/ obsolete.zip

[sandy081]

Thanks for sharing the information. It seems I am not cleaning up those extensions which are not active in any profile.

[valiko-ua]

Not sure if my case is the same as in this ticket.

Indeed, old extensions are deleted from disk after I uninstall them and restart VSCode. But I have two duplicates in my extensions.json file and on disk:

VSCode and extensions are working fine.

1. Should I create separate ticket for this?
2. Is it safe to delete these duplicates from disk and extensions.json?

[ManPython]

@valiko-ua how you opening VSC as normal user or admin? Coz VSC have many issues around UAC on MS Windows. Due remote-wsl I guess windows.. then you can check with shortcut as admin. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/225030

[valiko-ua]

how you opening VSC as normal user or admin?

I open VSCode as normal user.

[ManPython]

Try prepare shortcut with properties as admin, if still copies can be seen then write petition to B.Gates about right project and code management :D

[ManPython]

ms-vscode.hexeditor-1.9.14 ms-vscode.hexeditor-1.10.0 ms-toolsai.vscode-jupyter-cell-tag ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime-2.1.1 sitll on my side.. not sure.. why only this.

[sandy081]

@valiko-ua It could be related to this issue.

@ManPython May I know what is the current state of your extensions?

[ManPython]

Yes, as upper listed, still duplicated. Maybe this have something wrong in API, eg. old approach around?

[sandy081]

@ManPython I would like to restart the investigation. Can you please share the following from the extensions folder

• extensions.json file
• obsolete.json file
• list of extension folder name

[ManPython]

I think it can be privilege problem around UAC as related case https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/225030 This need deep testing procedure, not have time for this right now. Due I switching between admin os normal user hard to discover now when is this case. Then need 2 instance of VSC to investigate diff around.
