Code Remote SSH Issues not removing older version of code in bin folder

[genesanchez]

I discovered on remote ssh session. It creates .vscode-server/bin/<commit_ID> for each release of code I updated.
thus, over time, it has multiple commits folders that take up space on the server totaling 800MB for 4 release in one server.
Assumption: code did not remove older release of BIN (plugin and core,etc) when new version is used.
May be Developer can ask if to remove older Bin on server once upgraded? or only keep last 2 releases?
I supposed it may be needed since I might go back version of CODE. but again, I assumed it will deploy plugin if server doesn't have the modules on it anyway. I don't see the need of keeping older version of BIN.

Please confirm and address my findings
Example of findings:
srvadmin@jnano1:~/.vscode-server/bin$ du -d 1 -h
144M ./83bd43bc519d15e50c4272c6cf5c1479df196a4d

We keep the last 5 and clean up older releases. The reason is that installing is slow and there may be clients of multiple versions connecting. We could make this configurable though.

This keeps biting me when working with servers whose /home folder is intentionally using a small filesystem. Each time there's a new VS Code release I have to ssh onto each server outside VS Code and rm -rf ~/.vscode-server

When 1.109 recently went through 5 recovery releases in quick succession this was rather tedious.
