Unregister-EditorCommand doesn't remove command from list
Prerequisites
- [x] I have written a descriptive issue title.
- [x] I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
- [x] I have read the troubleshooting guide.
- [x] I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
- [x] I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
- [x] If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.
Summary
When calling Unregister-EditorCommand or $psEditor.UnregisterCommand(), the command remains in the Additional Commands list, leading to duplicate entries when my profile module is re-loaded. When trying to invoke the command afterwards, an exception is thrown, so the command is being unregistered, but it remains on the list.

Steps to Reproduce
- Register any simple command, like `Register-EditorCommand -Name MyCommand -DisplayName "Test Command" -ScriptBlock {$psEditor.Window.ShowInformationMessage("I came from Register-EditorCommand.")}
- View registered commands with
Shift+Alt+Sor "PowerShell: Show Additional Commands from PowerShell Modules" to ensure the command is registered - Invoke the command to verify it works
- Unregister the command with
Unregister-EditorCommand -Name MyCommandor$psEditor.UnregisterCommand("MyCommand") - View registered commands again to find if the command remains

Logs
For whatever reason, even setting "powershell.developer.editorServicesLogLevel": "Trace" and "powershell.trace.server": "verbose", the PowerShell output log looks about the same as when it's set to "Information", despite the Integrated Terminal showing trace information (e.g. "DEBUG: [Trace] Logging started", etc.). Nothing showed up about registering commands or loading modules.
The only thing I could find after unregistering the command and executing it from the list is from the Extension Host log:
