The uninstall text says to "delete the application folder", but the only removal command below deletes /usr/local/bin/pwsh and /usr/local/microsoft/powershell (and the article earlier describes installs under /usr/local/..., not an app bundle). This wording is misleading; please rephrase to match the actual installation layout (or add the specific app-bundle path if that’s intended).
