1You may want to reinstall your compilers and their environments. – Thomas Matthews Apr 19 '22 at 23:40

Is going through the recycle bin or equivalent on your platform and restoring deleted files an option? – user4581301 Apr 20 '22 at 00:11

No, deleted them permanently and don't remember which ones – instantnickname Apr 20 '22 at 01:18

Reinstall g++ by whatever method you installed the first time. – Joseph Larson Apr 20 '22 at 01:42

Well, if you gotta reinstall the toolchain, consider [installing a good toolchain](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30069830/how-to-install-mingw-w64-and-msys2). – user4581301 Apr 20 '22 at 03:32

If you broke your installation, you need to reinstall what you broke.
If you just need a GCC toolchain and don't want the hastle of installing, you could get a standalone build from https://winlibs.com/ and extract it to a folder.
If you do this to a separate folder you can leave your existing installation untouched, but you will need to point the VS Code settings to it.
