ActiveState log files proliferate in VS code

Question

Whenever I run VS Code, my directory fills with dozens of files with error messages, with names like "state-99999.log, and contents like the following. I have no idea where these are from (I don't use activeState) and how to get rid of them:

[ERROR Jun  4 14:42:19.225202200, defaults.go:149] Could not load configuration: Failed to load configuration.

The ActiveState extension for VS Code is the source of the problem. Uninstalling the extension in VS Code prevents it from generating the nuisance log files.
