Hi All

I see no reason to remove .net core stuff. It not going to effect older projects, and they don't care if you have newer .net core runtimes installed on your computer. You are still 100% free to develop, use and work with the .net frameworks as opposed to the newer .net core runtimes.

In fact, you are likely to cause MORE issues by attempting to remove the .net core runtimes. Just leave them alone, they will not interfere, or restrict your ability to build and work with older projects based on the .net framework runtimes.

Multiple versions of the .net framework runtimes, and multiple versions of the .net core runtimes is 100% allowed, and they don't interfere nor mess with each other.

And the fact of having multiple .net framework runtimes, and that of having multiple .net core runtimes DOES NOT in ANY way prevent you from choosing to develop with the older .net framework runtimes.

So, really, there is no reason to try and remove .net core runtimes here, doing so will not help nor fix nor change your ability to run .net framework runtimes.

Hi @Glenn Maxwell

is the below syntax correct. dotnet-core-uninstall remove --sdk 3.1 dotnet-core-uninstall remove --runtime 2.1 dotnet-core-uninstall remove --aspnet-runtime 2.1

The commands are correct. But using the above command, it will show the yes/no confirmation.

User's image

If you want to remove the SDK and Runtime without requiring yes or no confirmation, you can use the following commands:

To remove the SDK and Runtime via the .NET uninstall tool (dotnet-core-uninstall), the commands should like this:

dotnet-core-uninstall remove [options] [<VERSION>...]

For example: In my machine, I installed 2.1.818 SDK and 2.1.30 Runtime.

User's image

To remove the 2.1.818 version SDK, we can use dotnet-core-uninstall remove 2.1.818 --sdk --yes --verbosity q

User's image

To remove the 2.1.30 Runtimes, we can use dotnet-core-uninstall remove 2.1.30 --aspnet-runtime --yes --verbosity q

The result as below:
