Thanks for your bug report. This has been an issue in previous releases as well, and has been previously reported as bug #36453. Closing as duplicate.

Running pkg uninstall on a package that is not currently installed or that does not exist seems to end up removing /usr/share/octave/octave_packages, essentially removing all packages. Other installed package files remain, however.

The same does not happen for a regular user. The -global flag of pkg install makes no difference either.
