How did you install it?

[rainmanjam]

I used the installation script.

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

How do you uninstall code-server?

You can just rm -r the code-server directory. It depends on where you installed it, but if you used the install script by default it'll be in ~/.local/lib/code-server-<version> and there will also be a binary symlink in ~/.local/bin/code-server you can remove.

If you want to delete settings and data as well you can remove ~/.local/share/code-server and ~/.config/code-server.

For people using install script, the directory has changed to /usr/lib/code-server.

rm -rf /usr/lib/code-server/
rm -rf $HOME/.config/code-server/
rm -rf $HOME/.cache/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/bin/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/lib/code-server-*

[im-coder-lg]

rm -rf /usr/lib/code-server/
rm -rf $HOME/.config/code-server/
rm -rf $HOME/.cache/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/bin/code-server
rm -f $HOME/.local/lib/code-server-*

This could be better, so that users don't nee to run additional commands over each other.

Thanks, fixed.

rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/code-server/ instead of rm -f $HOME/.local/share/code-server. It is a directory for user preferences and extensions.

You can just remove( rm -r ) the code-server directory. It depends on where you installed it, but if you used the install script by default it'll be in ~/.local/lib/code-server- and there will also be a binary symlink in ~/.local/bin/code-server you can remove.

If you want to delete settings and data as well you can remove ~/.local/share/code-server and ~/.config/code-server , ~.cache/code-server.

i just deleted the bin folder using command sudo rm -R /home/mysusername/.vscode-server/bin/ and then I ran code .

As a result VSCode reinstalled along with all my data and installed extensions:

try dpkg -r code-server

The solution that I wrote above worked for me. But anyway, thank you @tteck
