Comment(by MtnViewMark):

 Thank you for fixing the wiki page!

 Could you be more precise about what you expected the installer to do? Did
 you want it offer to perform the sudo uninstall-hs for you?

 Can you suggest a better wording for the message:

     -- To actually remove these files, sudo run the command again with
 --remove
     -- To generate a script to remove these files, run the command again
 with --script

 such that you would have realized you needed to run the --remove version
 with sudo the first time?

 uninstall-hs is notable hesitant to do anything because it is really
 destructive.
