Deleting unused imports is the default behavior to help saved files can compile - In Go, unused imports are compile-time errors.

For different behavior, follow the instruction in "Formatting Code and Organizing Imports".

"[go]": { "editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.organizeImports": false }}

why it's enabled by default., i really dont get it. like it's not a bug it is a feature. however it only golang extension enforces it

Wouldn't it be better to simply comment out the unused imports rather than deleting them?
