Context: I'm using pop os 22.04

I have tried installing docker via the shell script download method:

$ sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

This failed with the message

# Executing docker install script, commit: b2e29ef7a9a89840d2333637f7d1900a83e7153f
+ sudo -E sh -c apt-get update -qq >/dev/null
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm Release' does not have a Release file.

Now when I try to use apt update i get this error:

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I tried uninstalling it via apt, but it doesn't recognize docker or any of its name variations.

How do I safely remove the files of the incomplete package I have downloaded?

I know this question wasn't on-topic in the first place, but this answer might reasonably be useful to an ubuntu user:

The problem wasn't with any individual file i had downloaded, it was that the installation added https://download.docker.com/linux/debian to the list of sources of my package manager, and the error occurred because it was checking for incompatible debian releases. After removing the link from my sources list apt update has resumed working correctly.
