Request removal of accidentally published Marketplace extension

[premie1426]

I accidentally published a VS Code theme via a VSIX upload, which resulted in an auto-generated publisher that I do not own.

Extension display name: void
Extension ID: undefined_publish.void
Publisher shown in Marketplace: undefined_publish

I do not have access to this publisher and therefore cannot unpublish or update the extension using VSCE.

I am requesting a permanent removal of this extension from the VS Code Marketplace.

Hi @premie1426 ,

You can reach out the VS Marketplace team directly, via their e-mail vsmarketplace@microsoft.com or their feedback channel https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/issues.

Hope this helps

BTW, I'm not sure how you could accidentally publish the extension, if you don't have access to it, because vsce requires authentication in order to properly publish the extension. And if you uploaded the .vsix file to the marketplace, you do have access to it.

If you really could run vsce publish, I would suggest you to open an issue in the vsce project itself (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-vsce), reporting this issue. If you instead, simply installed the .vsix file manually to your local VS Code instance, simply uninstall it and you are good to go.

Looking at the VS Marketplace, I don't see any theme named void

Hi @premie1426

Accidental VSIX publishes usually happen if VSCE was run with publisher credentials. Here's a quick fix:

1. Contact the VS Marketplace team: vsmarketplace@microsoft.com with Extension ID undefined_publish.void.
2. If needed, you can also report this scenario in vscode-vsce to help improve publish safety.
3. Uninstall locally if needed:

code --uninstall-extension undefined_publish.void

This workflow ensures safe removal and avoids publisher conflicts.
