Juliaup is the recommended way to install Julia (similar to rustup with Rust).
It creates ~/.juliaup and ~/.julia/juliaup. When using Julia, the downloaded packages gets added to ~/.julia/packages, precompilation goes to ~/.julia/compiled etc... so if the user requests to remove Julia we should remove the whole ~/.julia folder, it might also be quite large when you have a lot of compiled binaries and artifacts downloaded.
One gotcha is that Julia puts packages you develop in ~/.julia/dev. Since you manage them with git, it's usually fine to just erase that folder but I though we should at least display a warning in case the user forgot to push all the changes.
