Deleted golang, but does go command still work?

I am running Mac OSX Yosemite.

I am trying to upgrade from golang 1.4 to golang 1.6. I removed golang, but I noticed that I can still run the go go version = go1.4.2 darwin/amd64 . Why is this so?

Directions are not very clear IMO. They say

  • To remove an existing Go installation, usually it is / usr / local / go (done) Delete etc / paths.d / go
  • I edited bash by running go version go1.4.2 darwin/amd64

I ran source ~/.bash_profile and updated the env variables.

I ran into the same problem. I ended up with this solution:

 cd /usr/local/bin rm go

Deletes the 'go' command

Then go back to golang.org and re-download the latest version, run the installer, and when you run the 'go' command, it will display 1.12.9 (at the time of writing this post).

You can try this

 sudo apt-get remove golang-go

Then do it

 sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove golang-go
