how to completely remove vs-code setting?

After I uninstalled vs-code the popup message appeared:

Your extensions and settings will not be removed. 

Now I want to remove all of the vs-code settings and install it as a new user. How can I do this?

If you want to completely delete settings, go to %UserFolder%\AppData\Roaming\Code and delete the whole folder. Then uninstall and install it again.

If you want to delete all extensions too, delete the extensions folder on %UserFolder%\.vscode.
