Ona environments use persistent storage, so everything persists by default: your workspace directory, home folder, installed packages, and any other files.

​
Dev Container Rebuilds

By default, your repository is cloned to /workspaces/<repository-name>. This directory persists across dev container rebuilds via a bind mount. When you rebuild your Dev Dontainer, your code and uncommitted changes remain intact.

​
Persisting additional directories

To persist other directories across container rebuilds, add bind mounts in your devcontainer.json: 
{
  "mounts": [
    "source=/workspaces/.cache,target=/home/user/.cache,type=bind"
  ]
}

​
Environment deletion

When you delete an environment, all data on that VM is permanently removed.
