I am trying to remove the preview versions of dot net 6.

if I run dotnet --info i see

.NET SDK (reflecting any global.json):
 Version:   6.0.100

.NET runtimes installed:

To install additional .NET runtimes or SDKs:
  https://aka.ms/dotnet-download

When I run dotnet-core-uninstall.exe list I see

This tool cannot uninstall versions of the runtime or SDK that are 
    - SDKs installed using Visual Studio 2019 Update 3 or later.
    - SDKs and runtimes installed via zip/scripts.
    - Runtimes installed with SDKs (these should be removed by removing that SDK).
The versions that can be uninstalled with this tool are:

.NET Core SDKs:
  6.0.100  x64    [Used by Visual Studio. Specify individually or use —-force to remove]

.NET Core Runtimes:

ASP.NET Core Runtimes:

.NET Core Runtime & Hosting Bundles:

It does not show the preview versions, so how do I remove them?
