How to completly reset CPP extension and all project configuration without reinstalling IDE?

[bukowa]

I had working workspace with intellisense working and stuff... I realized its ultra slow to pickup my changes, so I installed clangd extension. Turns out it needs some special file generated by cMake and it can be only generated with generator ninja or make. So It was pain to setup... I just gave up and reverted to original CPP extension. But now there's another problem ,it just stopped any autocompletion... I tried removing cache and stuff but no luck. How can I make sure everything goes back to normal without reinstalling IDE? And why I am not informed in any way of any errors? Where I am supossed to look to understand what is going on and why the extension don';t know what is going on>

Look into settings clangd/vscode-clangd#883

VS Code extensions don't get an opportunity to run code during uninstall, so the team owning the extension will probably close that issue. For anyone else who find this discussion, however, I'll document that you will probably need to restore the default value of the C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine setting if you used clangd previously since that extension will prompt you to disable that setting.

Thanks, I just migrated to clangd and it's amazing :)
