VScode crashed (reason: 'oom', code: '-536870904')

Question

I am trying to open a folder that I opened before, but it crashed. I can open other projects, and restarting the computer didn't help.

Maybe it's because I had a big file opened (400mb) in this folder, but I cant close this file because the vscode crashing every time when I tried open the workspace..

I had the same problem. Just delete the folders under %appdata%/code/backups/ and restart VS.

I solved the problem by restarting my computer and then opening VS code from a different folder. To open large JSON files, I use Dadroit JSON Viewer, thus preventing the problem from repeating itself.
