Python Anaconda – How to Safely Uninstall

by

From the docs:

To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window and remove the entire
anaconda install directory: rm -rf ~/anaconda. You may also edit
~/.bash_profile and remove the anaconda directory from your PATH
environment variable, and remove the hidden .condarc file and
.conda and .continuum directories which may have been created in
the home directory with rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum.

Further notes:

  • Python3 installs may use a ~/anaconda3 dir instead of ~/anaconda.
  • You might also have a ~/.anaconda hidden directory that may be removed.
  • Depending on how you installed, it is possible that the PATH is modified in one of your runcom files, and not in your shell profile. So, for example if you are using bash, be sure to check your ~/.bashrc if you don’t find the PATH modified in ~/.bash_profile.
