VS Code error: "ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json'"

Question

I get this ENOENT error on Terminal. I tried some of the solutions available but I'm still not able to run either app.

I ran code --verbose.

MacBook-Pro:~ raul_fdz$ code --verbose
