with rm -rf ‘location of it’ ??
First, please can you confirm you saw symbolic links.
If that is a yes, then go for rm -rf; it will have to be sudo!

Which file manager can I use for that?
Try
ls -l /bin/adb
ls -l /bin/fastboot

this is what I get
noax@noax:~$ ls -l /bin/adb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8477840 Feb 3 14:51 /bin/adb
noax@noax:~$ ls -l /bin/fastboot
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2231048 Feb 3 14:52 /bin/fastboot
noax@noax:~$
What you think if I rm -rf the adb and fastboot files in /bin and in /usr/bin ?
If you can reconfirm that you got good positive responses from uninstall/purge platform-tools and or android-tools the “Ubuntu way”, then I guess this is what you will have to do.

It cant find any android.tools
looking the file manager seems that the /bin and the /usr/bin have been create at the same time.
The only thing that using rm -rf , when I do all the process from e/ it says that it cant find adb or fastboot in /usr/bin/adb or fastboot
I can only help a little to guide you to reconfigure your system. I used the terms loosely, you can only do the best you can to establish removal of any possibility of remaining “System platform-tools or android-tools”. You just need to be sure to double, double-check before doing any sudo rm -rf.
You should never take advice from a stranger on the internet to sudo rm -rf anything!

Maybe was the first line that creates double in bin and then in usr?
Or maybe this one created the one in bin and then I created the one with the
Good catch! I did not notice that - good to have a reason.

So you still thinks that I should erase that adb and fastboot from booth and try again?
And all the files that are in platform-tools are important to be send anywhere from the file extracted from android to my computer? Or is just adb and fastboot that are really useful in the PC?
3 questions, ok. I believe you have shown that those 4 commands are of no use to you as they stand, I have no better suggestion than removal of those 4 items is desirable.
Once removed, you have the option of reinstating “System” platform-tools or using the /e/ recommendation as you indicated you preferred in Post #3.
I believe it is quite wrong to say adb and fastboot are the most important, so we will just have that. This is why the /e/ method aims to put all of platform-tools in your PATH.

Doing that it will give me error I gues, but I am goona try it.
Is there any way to check if something more from the platform-tools file has been put in the PC?
What I thought we would do after the removal is
which -a adb
which -a fastboot
You remember this showed us 2 instances of adb and 2 instances of fastboot.
you plan to do those 4 removals.
No, I cannot think of anything else we can do.

Thank you soooooo much for your time and pacience @aibd
I have just ask in Ubuntu forum , otherwise I will do this that you just said.
Good to have a second opinion.
The next stage, bearing in mind that platform-tools (which is a Google product, neither of us want in the root filesystem) we keep platform-tools in /home. I think there were good reasons for it not working last time.

I can see that most of the files that are in the platform-tools are still in usr/bin , but broke all of them
And so if your paltform-tools is not in computer , just in home, is the adb tool working just from home?
Isnt here that I am coying the platform-tools/adb in usr/bin?
sudo cp platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb is
copy address/adb to address/adb
so we expect 1 file to copy over.
