The NIOS II SBT is separated at Quartus 19.1 and above. For the earlier versions. I recommend you to upgrade to v19.1 or above. I understand that you need to reduce the tool image size but unfortunately, there isn't a dedicated command to uninstall the NIOS SBT.

    I'm using Quartus 19.3 and I haven't downloaded NIOS II SBT. However, when I run the command line below, it still installs the nios2eds folder.

    Also, we can see from the 19.3 description below that even with individual files, NIOS II EDS is included. It is the NIOS II Eclipse that is available as a separate download.

    ./QuartusProSetup-19.3.0.222-linux.run \

    --installdir /opt/intelFPGA_pro/19.3/ \

    --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none --accept_eula 1 \
