I want to re-install Solana from scratch but there is no command in the solana-cli that helps to uninstall it. So what are the proper steps to completely uninstall solana from a mac system.

You can just remove the solana installation folder. You can find it running:
which solana
the output will be something like:
/Users/xyz/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin/solana
In that case you can remove the folder /Users/xyz/.local/share/solana
Remember to update also your environment PATH variable, you can check the content with:
echo $PATH
it probably contains the solana folder you just removed.
remove from PATH
and delete the folder of your installation - in the installation below /home/solana/**
downloading v1.14.6 installer
Configuration: /home/solana/.config/solana/install/config.yml

To help you give an example of where your installation might be. I also provided you the exact steps to remove your installation. Not sure why you downvoted? Commented Nov 2, 2022 at 7:21
I didn't find an "uninstall" capability. From config.yml in .config//install
releases_dir: /home/sol/.local/share/solana/install/releases active_release_dir: /home/sol/.local/share/solana/install/active_release
Don't install this as root but if you do and you want to set up as a new user with existing config objects that were owned by root you will have to fix some permissions and group ownership and copy/delete some files.
