Answer 1

If you don't want to use pip-autoremove (since it removes dependencies shared among other packages) and pip3 uninstall jupyter just removed some packages, then do the following:

Copy-Paste:

sudo may be needed as per your need.

python3 -m pip uninstall -y jupyter jupyter_core jupyter-client jupyter-console jupyterlab_pygments notebook qtconsole nbconvert nbformat

Note:

The above command will only uninstall jupyter specific packages. I have not added other packages to uninstall since they might be shared among other packages (eg: Jinja2 is used by Flask, ipython is a separate set of packages themselves, tornado again might be used by others).

In any case, all the dependencies are mentioned below(as of 21 Nov, 2020. jupyter==4.4.0 )

If you are sure you want to remove all the dependencies, then you can use Stan_MD's answer.

Answer 2

When you $ pip install jupyter several dependencies are installed. The best way to uninstall it completely is by running:

1. $ pip install pip-autoremove
2. $ pip-autoremove jupyter -y

Kindly refer to this related question.

pip-autoremove removes a package and its unused dependencies. Here are the docs.

Answer 3

In pip3

pip3 uninstall jupyterlab

In my case, I have installed it via pip3 on mac.

pip3 uninstall notebook

Answer 5

Try pip uninstall jupyter_core. Details below:

I ran into a similar issue when my jupyter notebook only showed Python 2 notebook. (no Python 3 notebook)

I tried to uninstall jupyter by pip unistall jupyter, pi3 uninstall jupyter, and the suggested pip-autoremove jupyter -y.

Nothing worked. I ran which jupyter, and got /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter

The file /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter was just a simple python code:

#!/usr/bin/python3

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from jupyter_core.command import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

Tried to uninstall the module jupyter_core by pip uninstall jupyter_core and it worked.

Reinstalled jupyter with pip3 install jupyter and everything was back to normal.
