Hello.

I’m using VS Code 1.62.0 with Julia 1.6.3 and the VS extension 1.4.3 for Julia.

When I open VS Code I see several terminals, in multiple tabs.  
It seems it keeps every session and tries to load all of them every time, adding a new one when I start VS Code again.

It says:  
`Session contents restored from 7/11/2021 at 4:54:42`

But it also produces an error:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: IOError: connect: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
Stacktrace:

```

If I `exit()` the session it just keeps waiting forever, though I can interrupt it doing `^C`.

How can I tell VS Code to forget all previous sessions and work just with one?  
I don’t want to save anything.

Try disabling the `terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions` setting.

OK, thank you.  
I will try and see if the problem persists.

What is the name of the temporal files used to save that sessions on the disk?  
I would also like to delete them in case there are too many.
