dotnet cleanup/reinstall

1. Clean-up

# 1. Remove the install folder
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/dotnet

# 2. Remove leftover per-user bits (if present)
rm -rf ~/.dotnet ~/.nuget/packages   # optional; ~/.nuget is your package cache

# 3. List the package receipts
# pkgutil is macOS's command-line tool for inspecting the system's record of installed .pkg packages. When you install any .pkg (like the .NET SDK installer), macOS writes a receipt into a system database — a small record saying "this package, this version, was installed, and here are the files it laid down." pkgutil is how you query and manage that receipt database.
# pkgutil --pkgs — lists the identifiers of every package receipt currently registered (that's why grepping it shows all your dotnet entries).
# --forget deletes a receipt from that database

pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i dotnet      # list what's registered

# then forget each one:
pkgutil --pkgs | grep '^com\.microsoft\.dotnet\.' | while read pkg; do
  sudo pkgutil --forget "$pkg"
done

2. Reinstall

• Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet
• Download latest LTS .pgk and install - latest SDK covers .ASP.NET Core Runtime for previous releases
• Download required <.ASP.NET Core Runtime>s for previous vertions
• open folder /usr/local/share/dotnet and copy from archived files .tar, folder /shared into ../dotnet/shared and /host into ../dotnet/host
• verify by dotnet --info that should list .NET SDKs installed and .NET runtimes installed.
