How do we remove ssh targets from Remote Explorer

Question

The Remote Explorer sidebar has an obvious icon for adding new targets but I can't find an option for removing or editing a target. In my case, servers' IPs change frequently so they just continue to add up in the sidebar with now way of cleaning it up.

Are the targets stored in a file somewhere that I can manually edit?

You can remove or edit it by editing .ssh/config file. Hope this helps.

Handy hint: If you put `Host myhost.com*` in your .ssh/config then SSH:Remote ignores it. – kbro Jun 08 '21 at 07:37

You can find out where your `.ssh/config` file is by going to the Remote.SSH settings – TBirkulosis Apr 27 '23 at 21:48
Where is this file? I cannot find it even in the Remote.SSH settings. – Erel Segal-Halevi Aug 17 '23 at 07:04
