clean-vscode

🪄 Function

Clean up unnecessary files and directories under .vscode-server.

📖 Usage

It is highly recommended to run the script with --dry-run option first to see what will be removed.

./clean-vscode.sh --dry-run

If you are satisfied with the result, you can run the script without --dry-run option.

./clean-vscode.sh

If you want to clean up for all users, run the script with sudo and --all-users option.

sudo ./clean-vscode.sh --all-users
