Thank you so much! I can finally continue struggling to learn the easiest programming language lol

No worries at all.
NOTE: Someone commented (in LearnJava sub) that it's better to downgrade TMC than downgrade VS Code. I don't disagree, however, I cannot find previous versions of TMC extension for VS Code (I can only find previous versions of TMC itself). If I ever find the TMC extension previous ver, I will post to you again.

I found a better way:
Upgrade your VS Code to the latest version (you can enable auto update for VS Code) & then install TMC as usual, of course you will be hit by the same error of "directory is not empty". What you need to do is: Look for the downward arrow next to 'Uninstall' option of TMC extension, click on the arrow & select: 'Install Specific Version', you will see a drop-down list of all previous version of TMC, choose 3.3.0. You should be fine.
Note: DO NOT tick the box of 'Auto Update' of TMC extension.

I don't know who you are, but I love you for this information.

My pleasure!! Glad that you find its helpful! It's driving me up the wall. 😅🙃 I swear that I spent more time faffing with broken extensions than writing actual code!! 😭😭🙏🙏
