Problem with VScode automatic uninstalled extension (Material theme)

Question

"We have uninstalled 'equinusocio.vsc-material-theme' which was reported to be problematic."

This notification still pop-in every time I refresh VScode.

I already tried to manualy remove extension from extensions folder, but every time I open VScode this pop-up alerts show and apears that VScode tried to install it again.

I resolved this issue manually by performing the following steps:

1. Remove the theme extension folder:

   Open a terminal and navigate to the VS Code extensions folder to delete it (verify the version before).

cd ~/.vscode/extensions
rm -rf equinusocio.vsc-material-theme-34.7.9/ 

2. Edit extensions.json:

After removing the theme's folder, open the extensions.json file and search for any entries related to "equinusocio". Delete the corresponding section related to the theme. E.g

{
  "identifier": {
    "id": "equinusocio.vsc-material-theme",
    "uuid": "dffaf5a1-2219-434b-9d87-cb586fd59260"
  },
  "version": "34.7.9",
  "location": {
    "$mid": 1,
    "path": "/home/ateveraz/.vscode/extensions/equinusocio.vsc-material-theme-34.7.9",
    "scheme": "file"
  },
  "relativeLocation": "equinusocio.vsc-material-theme-34.7.9",
  "metadata": {
    "installedTimestamp": 1739712853055,
    "source": "gallery",
    "id": "45bfc9eb-5e03-487f-bffe-315fa6881d6a",
    "publisherId": "3b9d55d2-da9e-415a-9bea-8d6bc07147d8",
    "publisherDisplayName": "Equinusocio",
    "targetPlatform": "undefined",
    "updated": false,
    "isPreReleaseVersion": false,
    "hasPreReleaseVersion": false
  }
}

Note: If you are using Windows or MacOS, I think that those files are in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions or in ~/.vscode/extensions, respectively.
