Hi there,
Could you please provide a screenshot of the error? Also, please check if you have SSMS running while uninstallation? It could prevent you from removing our products.

Hi there,
Please be informed that the "a referral was returned from the server" error can occur when a user tries to run the application as an administrator if UAC (User Account Control) is enabled on the system.
Please try disabling User Account Control and repeat the uninstall process.
If you are already logged in as Admin, we would like to kindly recommend you to check the following link which can be useful. Here is described different options for your issue:

Hi Jelly,
Kindly be informed that SQL tools are supported by Windows, unfortunately, there is no macOS support.
