    Solved it! Turns out I was looking in the wrong folder. You're supposed to go to /.vscode/extensions and then look for the extension that says "glassit" at the end

    I recommend not installing this extension as it can be buggy.

    You can uninstall extensions via commandline: code --uninstall-extension <ext-id>. To get the ID of an extension, check its marketplace page. It’ll be in the URL. For Glassit, it’s s-nlf-fh.glassit. Note that uninstalling an extension does not remove the extension’s files from your machine. It just makes it so VS Code doesn’t "recognize" it.

    Extension files are stored in .vscode/extensions/ in your user home directory under subdirectories named by their ID. You can remove the files by removing the corresponding directory.
