Script to uninstall Daytona

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a Daytona user, I want to entirely remove Daytona and any directories/files it may have created during installation or runtime.

Describe the solution you'd like A one-line script I can run to uninstall Daytona entirely from the system. It should remove the binary, config, any images, etc. returning the system to the state it was in before Daytona was installed.

Additional context In reference to documentation issue daytonaio/docs#54

I've considered documenting it manually for users in the docs, but this doesn't provide a great user experience. It also requires maintenance of instructions in the docs that could easily be scripted as the installation procedure is.

When using a package manager, there's a one-line method of uninstalling a package and cleaning up any leftover files/directories. e.g. brew uninstall git, dnf uninstall podman, etc. With the recommended installation of Daytona, this doesn't exist.

Since we have an installation script, we should make uninstalling Daytona just as straightforward for the user.

Just a note, this would probably just include running daytona purge and then removing the binary from the system.

It might be just worthwhile writing this in the README/docs and not introducing a script for it.

Maybe it doesn't warrant an entirely separate script, but it could be a function in the existing install.sh script (e.g. install.sh uninstall).

Currently, to install:

• run ./install.sh

and to uninstall:

• run daytona purge
• locate binary on your machine based on your OS
• rm <binary>

It might seem small, but from a UX perspective, having ./install.sh uninstall (or ./uninstall.sh) as a one-liner is much more straightforward. It should be just as straightforward to uninstall Daytona as it is to install Daytona; it's why package managers have an uninstall command, rather than expecting the user to issue multiple commands. Even if the uninstall commands are small.

Hi,

According doc

https://www.daytona.io/docs/installation/installation/

Run the following commands to purge local Daytona data and remove the binary:

Under Windows 11 daytona purge doesn't remove the daytona binary

Moreover commands

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/daytona
sudo rm $(whereis daytona | awk '{print $2}')

are not apppropriate for a Windows install.

Best regards
