Answer 1

On linux we can do like this to remove go completely:

rm -rf "/usr/local/.go/"
rm -rf "/usr/local/go/"

These two command remove go and hidden .go files. Now we also have to update entries in shell profile.

Open your basic file. Mostly I open like this sudo gedit ~/.bashrc and remove all go mentions.

You can also do by sed command in ubuntu

sed -i '/# GoLang/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/export GOROOT/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/:$GOROOT/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/export GOPATH/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/:$GOPATH/d' .bashrc

It will remove Golang from everywhere. Also run this after running these command

source ~/.bash_profile

Tested on linux 18.04 also. That's All.
