Description
Describe the bug
.config/Code/User/workspaceStorage/<hash>/ms-vscode.js-debug/.profile takes over 100MB for each workspace, and the entire .config/Code could use several GBs of disk storage just because of that.
I only saw this on Linux, but it probably exists on other platforms.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Use JavaScript launch in various workspaces.
Log File
Does not currently have, will start collecting them if they are relevant.
VS Code Version: 1.105.1
Additional context
I have a workflow where I need to use a new workspace at a new location every few days, and end up with a lot of workspaces, most of which are no longer being used.
WasmTtsEngine appears to include versioned folders that likely could be reused.
