I have uninstalled Visual Studio Code, but the "open with code" option is still in my context menu when I right click a folder.

If I install VS Code again, it will keep the old option and adds a second entry which opens VS code.

Most of the menu items that used for all files and folders can be found at one of these keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell    
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers    
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx
