💖 dotnet-new-uninstall(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for dotnet-new-uninstall, straight out of the .NET Documentation. yes we're doing manpage reading, it's giving study date but make it cute 🎀

✨ This article applies to: ✔️ .NET 6 SDK and later versions ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dotnet-new-uninstall — uninstalls a template package. that's it, that's the job, and it does it flawlessly 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dotnet new uninstall <PATH|NUGET_ID>
    [-d|--diagnostics] [--verbosity <LEVEL>] [-h|--help]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the dotnet new uninstall command uninstalls a template package at the PATH or NUGET_ID you hand it. and here's the lil plot twist: when you don't specify the <PATH|NUGET_ID> value, it shows you all the currently installed template packages and their associated templates instead. so it's like a surprise peek at your collection 👀

when you specify NUGET_ID, do NOT include the version number. literally just the id, no version, we don't do that here.

🕰️ the .NET 7 SDK glow-up (syntax changes)

starting with the .NET 7 SDK, the dotnet new syntax changed, and honestly it ate:

• the --list, --search, --install, and --uninstall options became list, search, install, and uninstall subcommands.
• the --update-apply option became the update subcommand.
• to use --update-check, use the update subcommand with the --check-only option.

the other options that were available before are still available to use with their respective subcommands, no worries bestie 🫶 separate help for each subcommand is available via the -h or --help option — so dotnet new <subcommand> --help lists all supported options for the subcommand.

bonus: tab completion is now available for dotnet new 🌈 it supports completion for installed template names and for the options a selected template provides. to activate tab completion for the .NET SDK, see Enable tab completion.
