Trac is not for tech support, but since you're here already...

Did you install MacPorts in a location other than /opt/local? What is the output of which port?

i use MacPorts-2.6.2-10.15-Catalina.pkg to install and select Macintosh HD as a desination.

The pkg installer installs into /opt/local. After you ran sudo rm -rf /opt/local, everything in /opt/local should be gone, including /opt/local/bin/port, so there should be no way for port version to still respond with Version: 2.6.2 if that was the only copy of MacPorts that you installed.

You could verify whether anything is still in /opt/local for example by running ls /opt/local or by using the Finder's Go→Go to Folder… menu item and typing in /opt/local. If anything remains there, then uninstallation was unsuccessful and you should follow the uninstallation instructions again, because as far as I know we haven't had any other reports of the instructions being wrong.

If /opt/local is gone but port version still responds, that makes me think you have another copy of MacPorts installed somewhere else, which is why I asked you for the output of which port to see where it is.
