I messed up installing go, now what

1. Remove all go that you might have installed via apt-get

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove golang-go
sudo rm -rvf /usr/local/go

2. Get the version of go you want to install https://golang.org/dl/

sudo wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.16.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

3. Install go

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

4. Add PATH in ~/.profile

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

5. source ~/.profile
