Based on the type of your current workspace, the application list and application settings are saved in one of the following files in the VS Code workspace:
- Single-folder workspace:
.vscode/settings.json - Multi-root workspaces:
<workspace_name>.code-workspace.json
To learn more about general VS Code workspace mechanisms, see the workspace documentation.
Caution
If you have not saved the current workspace you are working in, the file containing information about your application and its settings is saved in a temporary location. This temporary file is not meant to be interacted with directly. It is deleted at the end of the session, unless you save the workspace. When saving the workspace, you are asked for a path where to save the file.
If you have not saved your current workspace, but want to recover your applications and their configurations, see the How to recover unsaved applications section.
