Uninstall .NET Core SDK 7.0

Q) How do I uninstall .NET Core SDK 7.0.100-rc.2.22477.23?

I'm trying to use the command-line tool dotnet-core-uninstall to uninstall it without success because of the message [Cannot uninstall version 7.0.0 and above].

Even this command line failed:

michael@MichaelWorkBook dotnet-core-uninstall % ./dotnet-core-uninstall dry-run --sdk 7.0.100-rc.2.22477.23
Uninstallation not allowed. This tool cannot uninstall .NET Core SDKs with version 7.0.0 or above.

This is the tool .NET uninstall tool I'm using to attempt the uninstall.

Additional Context: From a loose memory, I may have installed .NET SDK 7.0 via Visual Studio for Mac. Version 7 release candidate 2 may accidentally have hurt my ability to compile my Azure functions project.
