    It’s a snap problem, not actually a VS Code issue. Just another reason why snap is bad.

      I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system… Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.

        So you’re saying it’s Canonical spyware?

          Well he’s saying snaps are thrash.

          So basically you’re telling the snap app to put something in the trash, and snap says “it always has been. Nothing to do here”

    Funny how it’s only a problem when using the Snap distribution.

      The flatpack version is slow and crashy AF.

        Can’t we just go back to native installs?

    Friendly reminder that VSCodium exists, and nobody should be using Microslop’s spyware version anyway.

      It’s a snaps issue. Guessing you didn’t read past the headline.
