This problem may be caused by that the file to delete is not on the same mount point as your $HOME.

I resolve this by starting vscode with envvar ELECTRON_TRASH=kioclient5. Full list of options are:

• kioclient5
• kioclient
• trash-cli (sudo apt install trash-cli)
  • gvfs-trash

Can you please send here the command to run vscode with envvar set?

Make sure:

1. Command kioclient5 is available
2. All vscode instances are shut down. You may verify via ps aux | grep code

Then run ELECTRON_TRASH=kioclient5 code /path/to/your/workspace

You may replace "kioclient5" with other values listed above, as things could vary on different machines.
