VSCode extensions are not removed from file system even after uninstalling, I created a solution !

So this is a problem with vscode based editors. Even after you uninstall a extension, it will stay in file system and overtime clog your system. I created a simple solution. Running this python script will delete extensions which are not installed on your vscode.

It runs for VS Code, VS Code Insiders, and also for VSCodium!

Please give it a star.
