After installing STM32Cube for Visual Studio Code, why do two icons appear on the left panel?

Hi, I followed the instructions in this post to install the STM32Cube extension for Visual Studio Code. After completing the installation, I noticed that two icons appeared in the left panel: one labeled "STM32Cube" and the other "STM32 VS Code Extension".

The difference is that under "STM32Cube", there is only a "Key Actions" menu instead of the Project Manager, so I can’t import my project. On the other hand, the "STM32 VS Code Extension" icon works correctly and allows me to import my CMake project.

Which one should I keep?

I would advise restarting the VSCode instance (it is good practice after installing or removing a new extension).

Let us know if this solves the issue.
