Visual Studio Code unsaved files location
Does anyone know where VS code saves unsaved files on a Windows machine?
I have found many discussions about this features, but they don't mention where the files are actually saved.

The Microsoft help file indicates that the settings are stored in the folder:
Windows -
%APPDATA%CodeUser
For me this translated to:
C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingCode
In this folder I located a Backups folder, this folder contained the raw data for my document. This appears to be grouped by date stored as a UNIX timestamp.

Thanks! On OS X there is a similar folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Code/Backup where my text files were hiding out.

I don't have a Linux installation to test on unfortunately. However I would guess it is located somewhere in the/homefolder.
