Answer 1

Depending on the method you chose in https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/, it can be any of these:

• Install kubectl binary via curl: sudo rm /usr/local/bin/kubectl
• Download as part of the Google Cloud SDK: gcloud components remove kubectl
• Install with snap on Ubuntu (just as Gparmar said): snap remove kubectl

In addition, you may need to remove the configuration files in ~/.kube.
