I'm having a difficult time installing the latest DotNet Core CLI tools on Ubuntu 16.04. I believe it's because I have a much older version installed and I (this is embarrassing)... I don't know how to remove it.



When I enter dotnet --version into a terminal window,
I get... 1.0.0-preview1-002702



That prevents me from using the very nice DotNet Core installation instructions here: https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started/linuxubuntu



I can follow those instructions, but at the end, I'm still left with the results from dotnet --version equal to 1.0.0-preview1-002702.



I'm guessing I need to use apt remove but I don't know what name to use to remove it.

          To remove an older version of .NET Core, simply remove the folder you had added named "dotnet" on disk. But then you must restart your computer.



          From there, you can use the instructions listed here to install the latest .NET Core https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started/linuxubuntu
