How do I remove/delete a virtualenv?

Question

I created an environment with the following command: virtualenv venv --distribute

I cannot remove it with the following command: rmvirtualenv venv

Answer 1

That's it! There is no command for deleting your virtual environment. Simply deactivate it and rid your application of its artifacts by recursively removing it.

Note that this is the same regardless of what kind of virtual environment you are using. virtualenv, venv, Anaconda environment, pyenv, pipenv are all based the same principle here.
