How to reset the AWS Profiles in AWS Toolkit in VS Code

Question

I'm using AWS Toolkit in VS Code and changed some of my Profiles. Now whenever I launch VS Code it shows that the default Profile is not valid anymore. I reinstalled AWS CLI and set up the profiles from Scratch. but there must be some nasty little config file that keeps the old profiles and serves them up each time I launch VSCode. Has anyone an idea how to reset this or where I can find such a file?

I have already checked C:/Users/Name/AppData/Roaming... but couldnt find anything. Not even deleting the AWS toolkit extension and reinstalling it changed anything..

Thank you in advance

What AWS: View AWS Toolkit Logs command is showing you with any related errors in VSCode?

Assuming if you're able to connect to AWS using CLI, and if there is a syntax issue in your ~/.aws/credentials or ~/.aws/config, Toolkit may not be able to read it, even though AWS CLI can read it.

Try to clean them up under ~/.aws/, and then reconfigure
