I got an error after starting ST
Error trying to parse settings: Expected string in Packages\User\AutoFoldCode.sublime-settings:15002425:1
The given line is the last line in the file and it’s an empty line following this line:
/*"0x532edc3f":Error on program startup and parse settings

You could be missing a */, but it’s hard to say without context. /* begins a commend and must be paired with a */ ending the comment.

Yes, the last line is misformatted but it was automatically generated. Could be a ST bug.

That sounds like a classic syntax error, especially since JSON settings in Sublime are really picky about things like trailing commas or unclosed comments.
If the file is massive or got messed up during an auto-generation, you might want to try opening that specific settings file in a different editor to see if there’s a hidden character at the very end causing the “Expected string” error. Sometimes just deleting the last few lines and manually closing the brackets/comments fixes the parse issue.
Definitely worth checking if any specific plugin is responsible for generating that file, too!
