24.04 – Remove VS Code in WSL

After typing code . in WSL running Ubuntu 24.04, VS Code automatically installed itself. I am now trying to uninstall it, but cannot find it anywhere. sudo apt purge code, sudo apt-get purge code, sudo dpkg --purge code, and sudo snap remove --purge code all tell me that code was not installed. The same holds for alternative names, incl. vscode and visual-studio-code. When I enter code ., VS Code opens though. It clearly is installed.

I want to keep the Windows version of VS Code, but remove its Linux installation. Do you know how I can do that?
