標準外gemをアンインストール
インストールされているgemを一括で削除する - Qiita を参考にします。
除外するgemを、Ruby2.5の標準gemに変更します。
sh, bash用
gem uni -aIx $(gem li --no-versions | grep -v -E "bigdecimal|bundler|cmath|csv|date|dbm|did_you_mean|etc|fcntl|fiddle|fileutils|io-console|ipaddr|json|minitest|net-telnet|openssl|power_assert|psych|rake|rdoc|scanf|sdbm|stringio|strscan|webrick|zlib")
fish-shell用
gem uni -aIx (gem li --no-versions | grep -v -E "bigdecimal|bundler|cmath|csv|date|dbm|did_you_mean|etc|fcntl|fiddle|fileutils|io-console|ipaddr|json|minitest|net-telnet|openssl|power_assert|psych|rake|rdoc|scanf|sdbm|stringio|strscan|webrick|zlib")
エラーが出たら
標準gem以外でもエラーが起きてアンインストールできないことがあります。
パスエラー
ディレクトリを指定しないとアンイストールできないことがあります。
例えば、私の環境ではtest-unitで次のエラーが出ました。
~ gem uninstall test-unit
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
test-unit is not installed in GEM_HOME, try:
gem uninstall -i /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 test-unit
インタラクションにしたがって、インストールディレクトリのパスを指定すればアンインストールできます。
~ gem uninstall -i /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 test-unit
Successfully uninstalled test-unit-3.2.7
権限エラー
過去にsudo gem installしていたgemは、アンインストールする際も、スーパーユーザー権限が必要です。
例えば、私の環境ではrakeで次のエラーが出ました。
~ gem uninstall rake
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
rake is not installed in GEM_HOME, try:
gem uninstall -i /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 rake
~ gem uninstall -i /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 rake
Remove executables:
rake
in addition to the gem? [Yn]
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin directory.
sudoをつけてアンインストールします。
~ sudo gem uninstall -i /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 rake
Password:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
rake is not installed in GEM_HOME, try:
gem uninstall -i /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 rake
エラーが続くときはインタラクションに従い、インストールディレクトリのパスを修正して再実行します。
~ sudo gem uninstall -i /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 rake
Remove executables:
rake
in addition to the gem? [Yn]
Removing rake
Successfully uninstalled rake-12.3.0
追記 rakeをアンインストールしてHomebrewでエラーが出たら
上記の手順でrakeをアンインストールしたあとに、brew upgradeしたら次のエラーが出ました。

この時点でrakeのバージョンは
~ rake --version
rake, version 0.9.6
古いです。
/usr/local/bin/rakeに古いバージョンのrakeコマンドが残っています。
Homebrewの管理ディレクトリ配下のバイナリへのシンボリック出ない場合は、Homebrewは自動的には置き換えません。
インタラクションに従い手動で置き換えます。
rm /usr/local/bin/rake
brew link --overwrite ruby
を実行すると
~ rake --version
rake, version 12.3.0
新しいバージョンが使えます。
~ ls -la /usr/local/bin/rake
lrwxr-xr-x 1 shigerunakajima admin 31 2 19 14:35 /usr/local/bin/rake -> ../Cellar/ruby/2.5.0_1/bin/rake
リンク先がHomebrewの管理ディレクトリ(/usr/local/Cellar)に変わっています。
エラーが起きても無視して次のgemをアンインストール
もうちょっと雑に、エラーが出ないgemだけをアンインストールする方法もあります。
