VS Code update removed extension

In the following folder I created a new language for VS Code C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\mynewlanguage

Today I updated VS Code to v1.17.2.

After VS code update, this folder doesn't exist anymore. Is it normal? Where should I have created my language? Did I lose all my work?

Thanks, David

Yes, that is normal. The C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions folder is reserved for extensions that VS Code ships with by default. It appears that this folder is overwritten upon each update, which would clear out any files you put there.

The place where all extensions from the marketplace go (and where you should have put your custom extension) is in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\.vscode\extensions.

Chances are high that unless you made a backup of the extension somewhere else, your work is lost.
