Visual Studio Code - removing pylint

Simple question - but any steps on how to remove pylint from a Windows 10 machine with Python 3.5.2 installed.

I got an old version of pylint installed that's spellchecking on old Python 2 semantics and it's bugging the heck out of me when the squigglies show up in Visual Studio Code.

open the workspace settings file (select File > Preferences > Settings, then locate Python configuration) and edit this line as

"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false

then save the file.
