Uninstalling uv feels a bit hacky.

Two suggested improvements:

  1. An official uninstallation script (similar to the standalone installer), or uv self uninstall.
  2. If neither are realistic, improve the documentation for the manual uninstall. The current instructions first mention removing the binaries, and then mention a suggestion for removing stored data. The recommended data removal process involves uv commands that will no longer be available if the binaries are gone 😄.

Thanks!

Clarify uninstallation docs (#9938)

I've edited the uninstallation docs to first suggest removing stored
data before removing the uv and uvx binaries.

This should be pretty easy, if someone wants to take on the command. The documentation was improved in #9938

We'll probably want a flag to keep / remove data.

@zmievsa I am mostly done with implementing this in #11613; would you like to contribute there?

@loic-lescoat no worries, you can just proceed with your implementation. I'm happy as long as problem is solved :)
