Remote Extension/Connection Type: Containers
I have a problem with the .vscode-server/bin directory on remote containers - it is always growing!
So, in time it grows to huge sizes of several gigabytes! And now I have 19 gigabytes occupied by this folder!
It contains cached versions of the vscode server from all previous versions, so on each new release I'm getting a new bunch of megabytes here.
To resolve this problem, I think VS Code should include some cleanup procedure, that removes the oldest versions from this folder automatically.
