NRF connect extention reports an error about an unrelated west manifest in Visual Studio Code Output terminal

I keeping getting errors in Output terminal from nRF Connect.  

I work on multiple projects in multiple different workspaces.   I keep getting errors about the manifest file for a workspace that I'm not actively using.  The errors trigger the terminal view focus to switch to the output tab, which is extremely annoying.

There errors all look like this:


[west]: FATAL ERROR: can't load west manifest: file not found: manifest file d:\XXX\manifest\west.yml (from configuration options manifest.path="manifest", manifest.file="west.yml")

[west]: exited with code 1.
I'm not currently working from a folder or workspace file related to XXX.
How can I make these errors stop?  This issue persist even after I restart visual studio code.  The XXX text does not appear in settings.
