When I hover over a function in VSCode, shown code locations also include old, already removed versions of Julia.  
So instead of actual `Julia-1.7.0` it refers to `Julia-1.7.0-rc1`.

A grep over.julia shows some hits, e.g. in  
`.julia\compiled\v1.7\Zlib_jll\xjq3Q_yWJLE.ji`

I uninstalled/reinstalled the Julia extension, run a Pkg.update, no change.

Is there a way to clean up, start fresh?

- Update:  
Deleted .julia in explorer, restart, update =\> no change.  
] rm --all =\> references OK! now reinstalling packages…  
Is there a more convenient way?

Did you try changing the Julia-VSCode settings?

The only setting I touched is the path to the Julia executable, pointing to the only version installed.  
Nothing set in PATH.

It might be useful to retrieve the settings.json for the Julia-VSCode extension.

Thx for the follow-up. I completely reinstalled the codes.  
Next time…
