Unable to uninstall extensions


When I uninstall an extension in VS Code it gets automatically reinstalled after a few seconds. I have settings sync turned on (including extensions) but I would expect it to understand that I don't want those extensions anymore.

If I turn off settings sync I can successfully remove extensions. However as soon as I turn it back on, instead of it syncing my local changes to the cloud, it just reinstalls all extensions.

How can I fix this issue?


Solution

  • Okay, in the end I fixed the issue by clearing all cloud synced settings and then re-enabling syncing afterwards. This time when I went on to uninstall extensions these changes actually synced to the cloud correctly.
