dotnet-tool: Uninstall a global tool (don't use `--global` for local tools).
$ dotnet tool uninstall --global ${tool_name}
try on your machine

The command "dotnet tool uninstall --global ${tool_name}" is used to uninstall a globally installed .NET tool from the command-line interface (CLI).

Here is a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • "dotnet": It is the CLI command used to interact with the .NET framework and its tools.
  • "tool uninstall": This portion specifies the action to uninstall a tool.
  • "--global": This is an optional flag that indicates that the tool should be uninstalled globally. Global installation allows the tool to be accessible system-wide rather than being limited to a specific project.
  • "${tool_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the tool you want to uninstall. You need to replace "${tool_name}" with the name of the tool you wish to remove.

For example, if you have a tool named "my-tool" installed globally with the command "dotnet tool install --global my-tool", you can uninstall it using the command "dotnet tool uninstall --global my-tool".
