Steps to remove Visual Studio Code completely from Windows 10:

I have solved my problem to uninstall Visual Studio Code completely in Windows 10

1. Go to Visual Studio Code path.

   %LocalAppData%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code

2. Click on the 'uninst000.exe' file.

3. Will see Message Box to confirm uninstalling Visual Studio Code > press YES.

4. After the uninstalling is done, delete the Code folder at the blowing path

   %AppData%

   

5. Delete the .vscode folder at the below path

   %UserProfile%

   

Now, the Visual Studio Code should be completely uninstalled and all old settings and extensions have been removed and you are ready to install a fresh VS code again on the same PC without uninstalling Windows.

My VS Code simply would no longer function and was completely useless! It couldn't ever do C# and JavaScript. It only worked with Python, and then barely.
