    To uninstall Pylance and Flake8 from Visual Studio Code, follow these steps:

    1. Open Visual Studio Code: Launch VS Code on your computer.

    2. Open Extensions View: Press Ctrl+Shift+X (or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS) to open the Extensions view.

    3. Search for Extensions: In the Extensions view, search for "Pylance" and "Flake8" in the search bar.

    4. Uninstall Extensions: Find "Pylance" and "Flake8" in the search results, then click on the gear icon next to each extension and select "Uninstall".

    5. Confirm Uninstall: A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the "Uninstall" button to confirm the removal of the extension.

    6. Restart VS Code: After uninstalling the extensions, it’s a good idea to restart Visual Studio Code for the changes to take effect.

    That’s it! Pylance and Flake8 should now be uninstalled from Visual Studio Code.

    If you also want to remove them from your computer entirely, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Terminal/Command Prompt: Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer.

    2. Navigate to Extensions Directory: Depending on your operating system, navigate to the appropriate directory where VS Code extensions are stored:

      • Windows: %USERPROFILE%.vscodeextensions
      • macOS/Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions

    3. Delete Extension Folders: In the extensions directory, look for folders named after Pylance and Flake8 (usually something like ms-python.vscode-pylance and ms-python.python). Delete these folders to completely remove the extensions from your computer.

    Please note that deleting these folders will permanently remove the extensions and their files from your system. Make sure you no longer need them before proceeding.

    After completing these steps, Pylance and Flake8 should be uninstalled both from Visual Studio Code and your computer.
