Hello ,

what is the h#ll?

Why do you not care poor penguins :( ? I expected Microsoft has enough to use WSL3 and dotnet uninstall tool for nothing? I am very disappointed.....

I have downloaded Source of dotnet-core-uninstall for Linux and it building time and gets errors...

Please care for Linux....!

Thanks!

If you're using the system package manager to install runtimes and SDKs, then you do not need the uninstall tool at all - you can uninstall unwanted packages with the appropriate package manager command.

For example, to remove the .NET 6.0 from a Debian/Ubuntu system you'd run 'apt remove dotnet-sdk-6.0'.

Ok but how do I remove if I worked with dotnet-install.sh

I am also looking for a way to uninstall a specific .NET SDK version that was installed with dotnet-install.sh

@tareqimbasher SDKs installed with dotnet-install.sh are not visible by this tool, but there's good news - you can remove them just by uninstalling the folder where they were installed to.

Right, but I want to remove just a specific SDK version, not all of them. I'm not exactly sure which directories belong to a specific SDK version and which ones should not be deleted. The possibly naive way to figure it out is say I want to delete .NET 6 SDK, then I remove all directories with the name 6.* but I'm not sure that is what I really should be doing or if that's everything that needs deleting.

These instructions are promising, but I couldn't find any official docs to corroborate.

Oh sorry for my inactivity! I have tried to uninstall but sometimes not working. That's why reinstallation makes me much easier.

Remember that if you are confused about 2 directories of dotnet lib and share under Ubuntu or distros...

Like you notice where is SDK installation. Don't copy and paste! Just link symbolic directory sdks in /usr/lib/dotnet for /usr/share/dotnet/sdks

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dotnet/sdk /usr/share/dotnet/sdks

And check dotnet --list-sdks and it shows up any installed sdks.

Now I would like to close my discussion because I have no problem now.
