When I try to shovel uninstall pwsh this is what I get

ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid JSON primitive: version.

You have yaml manifest saved as json

Result of: gci "$(shovel prefix pwsh)\scoop-*"? And content of the scoop-install.json, scoop-manifest.* files?

But the issue is resolved, I just deleted the pwsh folder and reinstalled pwsh.

[Jakub Čábera]

1. Not a single reason why to use my bucket for pwsh...
2. Since the pwsh is identified as failed I suspect there is only current file in the pwsh apps folder, which indicate your previous uninstall failed for different reason than this.

[Alien Bob]

What's wrong with using your bucket?? I like your bucket. Should I use main instead?

I just do shovel install pwsh and this is the bucket it chooses from.
