Alternative way to get to the extension folder

Within VSCode, pressing ctrl + shift + p, and type: "Open Extension Folder". Then press enter.

It will take you to the ~/.vscode/extensions folder

Where are extensions installed?

Extensions are installed in a per user extensions folder. Depending on your platform, the location is in the following folder:

  • Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
