How to uninstall Anaconda completely from macOS
To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window:
- Remove the entire anaconda installation directory:
rm -rf ~/anaconda
- Edit
~/.bash_profile
and remove the anaconda directory from yourPATH
environment variable.
Note: You may need to edit .bashrc
and/or .profile
files instead of .bash_profile
Remove the following hidden files and directories, which may have been created in the home directory:
.condarc
.conda
.continuum
Use:
rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
To remove the configs:
conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes
Once the configs are removed you can delete the anaconda install folder, which is usually under your home dir:
rm -rf ~/anaconda3
Also, the anaconda-clean --yes
command creates a backup in your home directory of the format ~/.anaconda_backup/<timestamp>
. Make sure to delete that one also.
EDIT (v5.2.0): Now if you want to clean all, you will also have to delete the two last lines added to your .bash_profile
. They look like:
# added by Anaconda3 5.2.0 installer
export PATH="/Users/ody/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
