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

You can remove all the dependencies by recursively uninstalling all of them and then delete the venv.

Edit including Isaac Turner commentary

source venv/bin/activate
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y
deactivate
rm -r venv/
