# Command won't succeed so I assume that a vscode process could be running
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/
rm: cannot remove ‘/home/$USER/.vscode-server/bin/4cb974a7aed77a74c7813bdccd99ee0d04901215/vscode-server-linux-x64/node_modules/readable-stream’: Directory not empty
I've already read through several articles with potential solutions, and none worked. I have already tried to search for vscode process in multiple ways such as:
#finds nothing
lsof | grep $HOME/.vscode-server | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -u
ps aux | grep .vscode
shawn.f+ 41466 0.0 0.0 112816 972 pts/1 S+ 10:38 0:00 grep .vscode
# Don't include the actual grep in the search and it finds nothing
ps aux | grep .vscode | grep -v grep
What else can I try? I've no idea what is blocking me from removing this directory.
It has something to do with nodejs because ~/.vscode-server/bin/4cb974a7aed77a74c7813bdccd99ee0d04901215/vscode-server-linux-x64/node_modules has sub-directories that are getting created periodically. I believe that is the source of the error but I am not finding any process that I own related to vscode or node.
