Definitely a good idea, but may be hard to cover all possible forms of installation. With our current setup, the following cases seem the most important to cover initially:

  • Uninstalling with Chocolatey in the Windows tab on Get Dart
  • Uninstalling with apt in the Linux tab on Get Dart
  • Uninstalling Debian packages with dpkg in the Linux tab on Get Dart
  • Uninstalling with Homebrew in the macOS tab on Get Dart
  • Manually deleting SDK directory for those who manually downloaded the ZIP, perhaps in the archive page.

It would also likely be good to mention removing Dart from path for situations where the package manager isn't responsible for doing so.

We could consider a dedicated new page as well, for general tasks of uninstalling as well as cleaning up various PATH variables, tooling, etc. Also a friendly invitation back like you mentioned :)

If anyone reading this wants to take one of those specific tasks, I'd be happy to help if you have any questions and work with you for review of a PR! Let me know :)

Great points @parlough,
I'll see if I can take this up once I finish up with the issue on flutter site, if there's no WIP on this one by then.

There's also the removing Dart by removing Flutter case, right?

This could just link back to the flutter site. flutter/website#5695

@parlough where would this page go?

@Sameerkash I think a few places could use additions, with perhaps the most straightforward being how to uninstall with the tools mentioned in each tab on the Get the Dart SDK page. Those could be included near the end of each tab and perhaps completed as an initial PR separate from any new pages.

As for the other pieces, such as removing extra items from the path, other forms of uninstall for manual installation, linking to the Flutter uninstall directions, etc I'm assuming we could create a new page as well. This could likely go in a similar place to the get-dart.md file and be linked to from the Get Dart and archive pages. Perhaps @kwalrath will have more ideas here on the contents and location.

Like @parlough said, the uninstall page could be very similar to (and parallel to) the get-dart page. If the page starts looking too busy or you think that includes/tabs would be too hard to maintain, then we could use <summary>...<details> tags to hide unnecessary details.

I don't think we need the actual uninstall directions on the get-dart page — just information on where to find the uninstall page. (I'm always leery of including instructions/code that you don't want everyone to copy-paste!)
