Remove brew completely from my system

I interrupted the execution of homebrew while installing. Consequently, I ran into a problem mentioned here Error found when loading /home/user/.profile:. I had to comment eval statements in the configuration file to solve the problem. However, I completely want to remove brew. Kindly, suggest any solution.

I installed brew with the homebrew install script which installs in /home/linuxbrew/.

I just found that one folder, where it resided, I removed that, and freed up 3GB:

sudo rm /home/linuxbrew/ -Rf

Check for remaining brew components with

locate brew -e|egrep -iv '(hebrew|ansible)'|grep brew

You can use this to check if it left anything behind in one of the system directories:

You'll still have to carefully go through your home directory to check if it left anything behind there.
