Remove cache and old extensions under "~/.vscode-server/" on your Linux server

If you often connect to your Linux server using VSCode, the "~/.vscode-server/" folder (and sometimes the ~/.cache/ folder too) can get very large because VSCode:

  1. Does NOT clean its download cache after installing extensions;
  2. Does NOT delete old extensions after updating them;
  3. Does NOT remove old VSCode servers after installing a new version.

If your server storage space is limited, you might consider cleaning "~/.vscode-server/" (and ~/.cache/) regularly using the bash script I wrote. Simply run the following command:

curl -sL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/XDflight/5f3509eb84fc282b88059c909036f5bc/raw/fe2a3e7dab19160c17efc7025d138f5350964c0f/clean_vscode-server.sh | bash -s
