I installed homebrew today. And I did something wrong so that my homebrew can't work now. Since I use an arm based mac, I am hard to find solution to uninstall my homebrew which installed in /opt/homebrew/.

To uninstall Homebrew, run the uninstall script from the Homebrew/install repository.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"

Download the uninstall script and run /bin/bash uninstall.sh --help to view more uninstall options.

Make sure your homebrew path is correct and then run the script:

echo $HOMEBREW_PREFIX #=> /opt/homebrew 
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
