Hi, TeX Live maintainers. I am Cyrus Yip. I tried to migrate from TeX
Live to TinyTeX, but there is no uninstallation guide for Linux users on
the documentation
<https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html>. I hope
there will be uninstallation guide for users. Here is an incomplete list
of methods of uninstallation that I wrote. You can add it to the
documentation if it is helpful.
1.
If TeX Live is installed from package manager, uninstall it via
package manager
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95483/how-to-remove-everything-related-to-tex-live-for-fresh-install-on-ubuntu>.
2.
If TeX Live is installed from its installer:
1.
Undo post-install actions
<https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-290003.4>
2.
Remove TeX Live
# check where TeX Live was installed
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT
# remove symlinks
sudo tlmgr path remove
# or use this, change the path of tlmgr accordingly
sudo /usr/local/texlive/2021/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr path remove
# remove TeX Live
sudo rm -rI /usr/local/texlive
sudo rm -rI /usr/share/texmf
