What's to elaborate? From time to time VSCode will not rename a file in a workspace. This issue has been found by googling but no clear reason or solution as of late.

I've found this Managing Extensions document code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/...

I have way too many extensions installed and its time to play the WordPress game.

I have never encountered file renaming issues (I use stable release on macOS, Linux, and insider on Windows, all with 40+ extensions, from syntax highlighters to diagram generators), but it's always a good idea to install as few extensions as possible since they can affect startup time as well. Always know your needs, and what you are installing. :)

You can always submit an issue to the VSCode project on GitHub.
