My Icon from VS Code is a gear instead of the usual logo

My VS Code icon is a gear instead of the usual logo from the program.

It happened while I was trying to add "open in code" context to right click in folders.

I tried some solutions to add this feature, but none did the trick. One of them made the correct icon of VS Code change into a gear, and unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I did to make that happen.

After that, I searched for solutions about the icon, and most of them envolved editing the code.desktop in /usr/share/applications. I changed the lines

"Icon=vscode" to "Icon = new_path_to_vscode_icon.png", but nothing happened.

I uninstalled and reinstalled VS Code, but the icon remained the same.

I asked ChatGPT for help, and tried clearing icon cache for all themes with:

sudo rm -r /usr/share/icons/*/icon-theme.cache

but it stayed the same.

What can I do to restore the original icon from VS Code?

I use Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
