Why Can I Still Run the 'go' Command After Apparently Uninstalling Go?

Uninstalling Go with Persisting Command

Despite executing the solution provided in a previous thread, you are still able to run the "go" command, indicating that Go is still installed. To thoroughly uninstall Go, follow these steps:

Official Uninstall Method (Mac OSX)

As per the official uninstall documentation, execute the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo rm /etc/paths.d/go

Additional Considerations

• Remove Go Binaries: Check if Go binaries are present elsewhere by using the "locate" command, e.g.:

  locate go

  If found, manually remove them using the "rm" command.

• Remove Go Modules Cache: Delete the Go modules cache by running:

  rm -rf "$HOME/go/pkg/mod"

• Update Environment Variables: Verify that the "PATH" and "GOPATH" environment variables do not reference Go installation directories.
• Reinstall Go: Consider reinstalling Go using a package manager such as Homebrew (brew install go) or from the official website to ensure a clean installation.

Troubleshooting

If encountering further issues, try the following:

• Check the terminal emulators used. Some emulators may have custom paths not reflected in the default environment variables.
• Use the "env" command to print all environment variables and check for Go references.
