How to uninstall mini conda? python

Solution 1:

In order to uninstall miniconda, simply remove the miniconda folder,

rm -r ~/miniconda/

As for avoiding conflicts between different Python environments, you can use virtual environments. In particular, with Miniconda, the following workflow could be used,

$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda.sh
$ bash miniconda
$ conda env remove --yes -n new_env    # remove the environement new_env if it exists (optional)
$ conda create --yes -n new_env pip numpy pandas scipy matplotlib scikit-learn nltk ipython-notebook seaborn python=2
$ activate new_env
$ # pip install modules if needed, run python scripts, etc
  # everything will be installed in the new_env
  # located in ~/miniconda/envs/new_env
$ deactivate

Solution 2:

The proper way to fully uninstall conda (Anaconda / Miniconda):

1. Remove all conda-related files and directories using the Anaconda-Clean package

   conda activate your_conda_env_name
   conda install anaconda-clean
   anaconda-clean # add `--yes` to avoid being prompted to delete each one
   

2. Remove your entire conda directory

   rm -rf ~/miniconda3
   

3. Remove the line which adds the conda path to the PATH environment variable

   vi ~/.bashrc
   # -> Search for conda and delete the lines containing it
   # -> If you're not sure if the line belongs to conda, comment it instead of deleting it just to be safe
   source ~/.bashrc
   

4. Remove the backup folder created by the the Anaconda-Clean package NOTE: Think twice before doing this, because after that you won't be able to restore anything from your old conda installation!

   rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup

Solution 3:

If you are using windows, just search for miniconda and you'll find the folder. Go into the folder and you'll find a miniconda uninstall exe file. Run it.

Solution 4:

your have to comment that line in ~/.bashrc:

#export PATH=/home/jolth/miniconda3/bin:$PATH

and run:

source ~/.bashrc

Solution 5:

To update @Sunil answer: Under Windows, Miniconda has a regular uninstaller. Go to the menu "Settings/Apps/Apps&Features", or click the Start button, type "uninstall", then click on "Add or Remove Programs" and finally on the Miniconda uninstaller.
