Visual Studio Code – Unable to move to cache, unable to move cache folder, unable to create cache

I am using VS code to open my react projects. Neither the folder from the git repository nor the locally stowed projects are accessible.

[13512:1219/213241.168:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc(20)] Unable to move the cache: Zugriff verweigert (0x5)
[13512:1219/213241.169:ERROR:cache_util.cc(145)] Unable to move cache folder C:UsersmagsuAppDataRoamingCodeCacheCache_Data to C:UsersmagsuAppDataRoamingCodeCacheold_Cache_Data_000
[13512:1219/213241.169:ERROR:disk_cache.cc(196)] Unable to create cache

I tried to reboot, cleaned and emptied the cache, deinstalled and reinstalled VS code.

    Either the permissions are bad or some process is holding a lock on those files (more likely).

    I’m guessing in the background you have some process open that uses these files. For example, a dev server. Try killing all node processes via Windows Task Manager if you can’t find the window and then try again.

    I have experienced the same error message with node and python applications. In my case the issue was that I have executed the script file without the language prefix. Instead of:

    node myscript.js
python myscript.py

    I have executed:

    myscript.js
myscript.py

    I hope that this answer helps anyone having the same issue.
