Have you noticed that disk space is filling up fast even when your Linux computer’s trash folder is empty? There’s a strong possibility that VS Code is responsible for it.
A not-so-recent issue in the Snap version of VS Code has cropped up again, and there’s no fix in sight.
An Absurd Bug
When you normally delete a file, it goes into the trash folder, located at ~/.local/share/Trash. GNOME has supported automated emptying of the trash at selected intervals through its settings for quite some time now.
So, let’s say you delete trash every seven days.
This sounds more like a snap / gnome integration problem than a bug in Visual Studio Code.
Doesn’t even seem to be a snap issue itself, but on how this snap package was developed. It feels weird defending snap, but they m means blaming Microslop so it’s OK
