Include instructions to uninstall Flutter

[sameeerkashyap]

Some individuals wanted to uninstall flutter and its folders completely.
We should include instructions to delete the folders of the flutter installation and the .pub_cache folders

related to flutter/flutter#30014 and flutter/flutter#29278

cc @Sfshaza,

I'll take this up if you can suggest where this should go. I was thinking the same page as install flutter, as it shouldn't take up too much space.

I think this is a great idea, @Sameerkash, but I also think it needs to be a new page. And it could be tricky to write. For example, it should probably cover:

• How to uninstall Flutter, but keep Dart (if that's what they want to do). I've filed an issue on the dart.dev repo about adding similar info for Dart. This page can then link to that.
• How to uninstall Android Studio, (if that's what they want to do)? (There is probably info on the Android Studio site about how to uninstall. We can link to that.)
• Any instructions specific to the various platforms (Ubuntu, Mac, Linux, Windows)?
• How might the instructions look if they installed with snap, or git clone, or some unofficial homebrew recipe?
• If they've reconfigured the PUB_CACHE environment variable, they'll need to remove the cache from that location
• Not critical, but they might want to update their PATH.

Finally, I'd want a friendly "Come back all, y'hear?" sort of message at the end.

I'd add the new page here: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/uninstall. It would also need to be added to the side nav (/src/_data/sidenav.yml).

Are you willing to take a stab at this new page? I'm willing to review, etc.

[sameeerkashyap]

@sfshaza2 sure thing! I've been trying to write for dart - site,
So I'd love to write a page for flutter as well.

Should I open a WIP PR? Or would you like to review a Google doc ( as kevmoo preferred this) ? And then I can paste the content to the repo.

I'll start asap whichever way you suggest.

[sfshaza2]

I definitely prefer a Google doc! Thanks for asking!

[sfshaza2]

Also, @parlough had some great input on the issue I filed on dart.dev.

[sfshaza2]

Also, when you are ready for me to take a look, share the doc with shaza@ and you can guess the rest. ;)

Also, @parlough had some great input on the issue I filed on dart.dev.

Surely will keep this in mind! Sounds most appropriate for the dart install.

Will consider flutter specific like snap store and others for this case.

Will send a doc link soon.

[sameeerkashyap]

@sfshaza2 I've sent an initial draft, please check your inbox for the doc link

@Sfshaza Shall I make a PR with the changes you suggested?

[sfshaza2]

Sure! I am sure I will have more edits, but let's get it going!
