title: Homebrew Uninstall Issue/Unsure if I deleted important files
body: <p>I was having issues with Git on my Mac and eventually found a thread that said uninstalling Homebrew might help.</p>
  
  <p>I found the uninstall command and pasted it into Terminal.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It did its thing and at the end of the process it said something along the lines of:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Homebrew was unable to uninstall these files. Perhaps you should do
    it manually.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/.yardopts
  /usr/local/CODEOFCONDUCT.md
  /usr/local/.com.apple.installer.keep
  /usr/local/remotedesktop/
  /usr/local/etc/
  /usr/local/Homebrew/
  /usr/local/var/
  /usr/local/Library/
  /usr/local/README.md
  /usr/local/.gitignore
  /usr/local/CONTRIBUTING.md
  /usr/local/SUPPORTERS.md
  /usr/local/lib/
  /usr/local/.git/
  /usr/local/LICENSE.txt
  /usr/local/git/
  /usr/local/share/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Trusting this recommendation, I checked out a few of the files and folders, many of them were related to Homebrew so I did as it said and deleted the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/.yardopts
  /usr/local/CODEOFCONDUCT.md
  /usr/local/.com.apple.installer.keep
  /usr/local/remotedesktop/
  /usr/local/etc/
  /usr/local/Homebrew/
  /usr/local/Library/
  /usr/local/README.md
  /usr/local/.gitignore
  /usr/local/CONTRIBUTING.md
  /usr/local/SUPPORTERS.md
  /usr/local/.git/
  /usr/local/LICENSE.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I emptied the trash I noticed that it said it was deleting over 10,000 files and I got worried, did some research but couldn't find much of what might be in these folders. I tried to restore a TimeMachine back up and it looks like my back up drive is busted. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is did I delete anything of importance and will I regret this later? I'm mostly worried about usr/local/Library/, as in retrospect this sounds important.</p>
