Rosetta 2

Rosetta 2 was not preinstalled on my Macbook Air M1, I installed it last week. If I reinstall macOS Big Sur and delete/clean Macintosh HD, I'll be able to get rid of it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Can I force a reinstall of Rosetta for Mac silicon? I was presented the Rosetta installation dialog when launching WhatsApp desktop (apparently an Intel app and the only thing currently on the App Store). I managed to cancel the installation during the OS request for password approval. This resulted in "An error occurred while installing the selected updates." Only option: Done button. Now Rosetta install is no longer offered for the app launch; the result is the same error-occurred-during-installation dialog. I would have expected the same option as if I had selected "Not now" if the original install steps, before OS request for approval. I.e. the offer to install Rosetta the next time I attempted to launch the Intel app. I've trashed my Intel app to force a download and reinstall by the App Store, but upon launching I still experience the same behavior. How can I force a reinstall of this apparently os-level library?

Is there an option to uninstall or delete Rosetta 2 from a M1 based Mac? As in the title, after you install Rosetta 2 (M1, Big Sur), can you get rid of it from macOS?
