'Get golang version from compiled binary

Is there a way to get golang version from pkg/ or from compiled binary? I want to automate removal of $GOPATH/pkg folder only when I change the golang version.

Solution 1:^[1]

With 1.9.2, the grep command is

strings $pkg_a_file | grep 'Go cmd/compile'

Solution 2:^[2]

I found the following method, to check the version of Go lib used to compile the binary

$ strings compiled_binary | grep '^go1'
go1.17.4
