Add uninstaller for Solana tooling

[AurelienFT]

Problem

I want to uninstall Solana from my workstation. Is that possible ?

Proposed Solution

Document on how to do it.

hi @AurelienFT , did you find a way to remove it?

No :/

Issues like those in #21053 and #23294 would be solved by adding a comprehensive uninstaller that clears the cache. It might be a good idea to add one to the CLI.

I too would appreciate an uninstaller in the CLI.

This would be a greatly appreciated feature/bit of documentation - being I somehow installed v1.15 of the CLI.

Zero clue how to uninstall it.

I tried to follow the installation guide and was confronted with this problem. To clean up my system, I had to dig deeper and found this issue.

Assuming the output of which solana contains the basepath $HOME/.local/share/solana
I executed this commands:

rustup toolchain uninstall solana 
rm -rf ~/.local/share/solana
rm -rf ~/.config/solana
