Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.134.0 (110a328ea54b42367b803ec53ee0bf52ef26b419, arm64)
- OS Version: macOS 26.6.1 (25G76)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a local folder in VS Code so that it appears under File > Open Recent.
2. Close the folder's VS Code window, then delete the folder in Finder.
3. From the macOS menu bar, select File > Open Recent and choose the deleted folder.
4. When the “Path does not exist” dialog appears, select OK.
5. Open File > Open Recent again.
Expected:
The deleted folder is removed from File > Open Recent after the error dialog is dismissed.
Actual:
The deleted folder remains in File > Open Recent. Selecting it again displays the same “Path does not exist” dialog.
This report concerns the File > Open Recent submenu in VS Code's macOS menu bar, not the Recent items shown from the Dock.
