How to remove previous versions of .NET Core from Linux (CentOS 7.1)

asp.net linux asp.net-core .net-core coreclr

You need to do this over the package manager, otherwise, you end up with a broken system.

This is for Ubuntu/Debian/Mint:

To list all installed packages

sudo apt --installed list

To list all the packages you installed

sudo apt --installed list | grep "dotnet-dev"

to remove a specific package

sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGE_NAME

e.g.

sudo apt-get remove --purge dotnet-dev-1.0.1

For other distros, consult the Packman-Rosetta-Stone

asp.net linux asp.net-core .net-core coreclr

In CentOS you would do the following:

1 - Find the package installed

yum list installed | grep "aspnet"

2 - Remove the package

yum remove aspnetcore-store-2.0.0.x86_64

asp.net linux asp.net-core .net-core coreclr

Sometimes it can be so simple! In order to remove the previous installation, simply remove the dotnet folder from where you installed it on disk.
