How to delete C9 Environment?

This is a loaded issue uhm.
So looks like you'are creating new environments on the + button.
I've made a mistake of trying to add an existing one. So now it doesn't work.

Where are these persisted?
I need to delete one of these, and I can't figure out how.
I don't want to destroy it. just remove from the list.

Hi Ivan,

The Cloud9 environments listing is always pulled directly from AWS, so if you see the environment appear in the list it'll have been created and available from the AWS Console.

If you log in to the Cloud9 console (for the region you specified), you should see all your environments and have the ability to delete any you don't want.

If you actually want to keep this environment but "hide" it from the VS Code listings, the only way currently to do that would be to deny access from the AWS user you associated with in your VS Code settings.

Hope that helps,
Ian.

Ok so yes. I see your intended use. But. Right after I installed the extension. I clicked + button. It asked for name of my environment, and then asked for API key, etc etc. and now when I try to connect to it. It gives me an error saying: "User: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxx:user/xxxxxxx is not authorized to perform: cloud9:CreateEnvironmentToken on resource: c20dba420exxxxxxxxxxx8f74be108 with an explicit deny" And that's because that environment already exists. but i pressed + before configuring the extension.

Ah, I see.

I believe what is happening is that another user has created the environment and that user has not shared the environment with the user you specified in VS Code. I believe the fix would be to log into the Cloud9 web interface and click the "Share" button and add the user that you're using in VS Code.

Once that is done, you should be able to right-click > Connect to the environment as normal.

Please let me know if this is indeed the issue. If so, I'll update the error message and documentation to make this a little more clear.
