Several versions of VS Code after update

Question

After updating VS Code for the second time, I can now right-click a file and open it with 3 different versions of it: 1.6.1, 1.8.1 & 1.9.0.

How can I either automatically prevent this on an update or remove the old versions after the update? My applications folder only shows one version of it.

Answer 1

Locate the other versions

You can just run each of them, right-click on the Dock icon of the running version and select Options → Show in Finder.

My versions were located here

~/Library/Application Support/com.microsoft.VSCode.ShipIt/update.OhD5XFk

Delete it

Just delete the whole directory update.OhD5XFk
