When using the VS code, I selected a folder in the left sidebar explorer and pressed the delete button. It prompted me saying
I clicked the Move to Trash
button. However, now I cannot find this folder anywhere. There is also no undo delete button in vs code. I am using Ubuntu. So I looked into ~/.local/share/Trash/
and the deleted folder was not there. Where to find the file? I mean when VS code says "Trash", what directory is it referring to?

You might be using VScode installed from snap, which runs in a sandboxed environment which does't have access to ~/.local/share/Trash/
Check:
ls ~/snap/code/common/.local/share/Trash/files
