I have solved my problem to uninstall Visual Studio Code completely in Windows 10

1. Go to Visual Studio Code path.

    %LocalAppData%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code
   

2. Click on the 'uninst000.exe' file.
   

3. Will see Message Box to confirm uninstalling Visual Studio Code > press YES.
   

4. After the uninstalling is done, delete the Code folder at the blowing path

    %AppData%
   

   

5. Delete the .vscode folder at the below path

Thank you Ali.   My VS Code simply would no longer function and was completely useless!
It couldn't ever do C# and JavaScript.  It only worked with Python, and then barely.
