Answer 1

If you are a Windows user and you are using conda to manage the environment in Anaconda prompt, you can do the following:

Make sure you deactivate the virtual environment or restart Anaconda Prompt. Use the following command to remove virtual environment:

$ conda env remove --name $MyEnvironmentName

Alternatively, you can go to the

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\MYENVIRONMENTNAME

(that's the default file path) and delete the folder manually.
