Modern versions of Go store configuration in the user's configuration directory, under a directory named "go". For example, an env file that stores Go configuration as set by go env -w invocations.

As pointed out in #65568 (comment), the instructions for uninstalling Go at https://go.dev/doc/manage-install#uninstalling currently don't mention directories for configuration, which can cause confusion.
