I might have installed and uninstalled different azure vscode extensions too many times, now everything is just broken and I have no idea how to fix it except reinstall vscode completely?

Currently there are the Azure Account and Azure Resource Groups extension installed. I have tried with only installing one of them, all produces the same result.
I will share some example screenshots:

If I try to do any action, it causes errors, like creating a new resource:

or executing any command:

Update
Solved by manually deleting extension caches in WSL and installing the extension again after.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to /home/<user>/.vscode-server/extensions/ in WSL terminal
  2. Look for any azure-related folders in there, e.g. ms-azuretools.vscode-azureresourcegroups-<version>
  3. Delete them with rm -rf
  4. Close VSCode
  5. Reopen and reinstall extension(s)

I'm glad that you were able to resolve it! Closing for now since it doesn't seem like something that we can control on our end.
