With dotnet --list-sdks I get some old SDKs that I do not get displayed in the "Windows Add / Remove Programs dialog box". Consequently, they can probably only be deleted by deleting in the Explorer, I hope that is residue-free. The site could write something about this topic.

The preceding is correct. Additionally, for the preview SDK versions it lists that VS installed, you get the following message

try reinstall the old version and then uninstall again.

Meanwhile I did a cure by renaming the c:\Program files\dotnet folder (3,7 GB) and installing only the latest SDK. My computer didnt explode, so I think these "irregular SDK versions" can safely be deleted in the explorer. Perhaps one time we could have "dotnet --install-sdk" and "dotnet --remove-sdk" harmonizing the download/installation/update on all operating systems, also for the runtime.
