Is there an existing issue for this bug?

• I have searched the existing open issues and found none that apply.
• If I find any issue of interest that is related or closed, I will included a link to it in this issue.

Required Troubleshooting Steps

• I have read and performed the troubleshooting steps
• I have tried both values of the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting
• My issue was not covered in the Tips and Tricks linked from the Troubleshooting Wiki.
• I will include a complete copy of my Remote - SSH logs by running Remote-SSH: Show Log in the command palette or from View > Output in the menu bar

[Optional] Diagnose with Copilot

I did not ask the @remote-ssh participant for help

In step 2 of the troubleshooting wiki, what was the result of running the generated SSH command verbatim outside of VS Code?

I COULD successfully SSH to the remote machine with the generated SSH command

Expected Behavior

I expect to not have my workspace randomly deleted.

Actual Behavior

The directory containing my workspace was deleted.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Remote SSH to a server.
2. Leave the session running over a weekend, with no changes to either end of the machine.

Anything else?

This appears to be the same behavior from #7517, only my session was never closed.

This has now happened twice, both between the same machines and both on the same project.

The remote machine is a virtual machine running on the same computer as the local machine. There was no change to the configuration of either machine; as I noted, it was just left running over the weekend. No other directories have been affected.

Most of the troubleshooting steps listed above are completely not applicable to this situation.

I honestly don't know how else to troubleshoot this.

I opened a new session after re-cloning my repository, so I don't actually have the logs from when it happened. I will attempt to reproduce it to pull the relevant logs. . .With a copy that I don't have active work in.
