Accidentally selected "Don't show this prompt again" when prompted to install Pylint in VSCode Python. How should I undo/reset the action so the prompt will appear again?

To anyone coming here from Google, if you're looking to reset the "Are you sure you want to move 'file' into 'folder'?" prompt:

On macOS, open /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json and remove "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false.

It's a similar process on Windows and Linux ✌️

See the issue notes here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/24815

You might have to do this:

  • deinstall Visual Studio Code
  • delete C:\Users[Username].vscode
  • delete C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Code

or relevant paths on your operating system.

  • Add your observations to that issue linked above and someone can answer your question there. – zedfoxus Apr 20 '19 at 20:12
  • One has to delete VS Code, that's a shame. The GitHub issue is locked to collaborators, so I can't add a comment to it. It hasn't seen activity since June 2021, so I'm guessing this will not be fixed any time soon – André Casal Feb 22 '23 at 09:21

Here is how to do it on macOS without uninstalling VS Code or delete globalStorage:

  1. Quit all VS Code instances (Cmd +Q)
  2. Instal SQL Lite browser https://sqlitebrowser.org
  3. Go to: /Users/[user_name]/Library/Application Support/Code/User/workspaceStorage/ => Find the one that associate with your workspace that you previously clicked "Don't show this promt again" (by looking into workspace.json and identify the name)
  4. Open stage.vscdb file with SQL Lite
  5. Look for data key "ms-vscode.csharp"
  6. Edit "assetPromptDisabled":true to "assetPromptDisabled":false
  7. Save change
  8. Reopen vs code
