vsce: Unpublish an extension.
$ vsce unpublish ${extension_id}
try on your machine

The command "vsce unpublish ${extension_id}" is used to unpublish an extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "vsce": This refers to the Visual Studio Code Extension Manager (VSCE) command-line tool, which is used for managing extensions.

  • "unpublish": This is the specific action we want to perform with the VSCE tool, which is to remove or unpublish an extension from the marketplace.

  • "${extension_id}": This is a placeholder for the unique identifier or ID of the extension that you want to unpublish. You need to replace "${extension_id}" with the actual ID of the extension you want to remove. This ID is typically a combination of alphanumeric characters, like a code or a name, specific to your extension.

By running this command and specifying the correct extension ID, you are instructing the VSCE tool to remove the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, making it inaccessible to users for download and installation.
