Chances are, you have "opened" your Desktop folder in VS Code. You can open a different folder via File > Open... or, if you have already a workspace, via File > Open Workspace.

Normally you create a workspace depending on task and then add folders to that workspace. So switching the workspace means switching the project you are working on.

apparently i initialised git in my desktop so all i had to do was to delete the git folder which i couldnt find. so i used terminal to get rid of it . a) open terminal (b) locate the directories that keep displaying on your code editor (C) log in " rm -rf .git".deleting the git folder
