STM32Cube ID 1.16.0 - uninstall.sh missing?

[JanneKiiskila]

I have been asked to remove (uninstall) the STM32Cube IDE and replace it with another version. However, the instructions found how to uinstall STM32Cube IDE suggest there should be an uninstall.sh script in the /opt/st/STM32CubeIDE_<version> -folder. That is not the case:

Okay and further digging revealed this: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/how-do-i-properly-uninstall-a-previous-cubeide-version-in-linux/m-p/217927

You have to do it manually nowadays it seems.

It would be nice if this information would be included in the /opt/st/cubeide-<ver> folder for example as a uninstall.md or uninstall.txt file.
