Removing Conda environment

问题

I want to remove a certain environment created with conda. How can I achieve that? Let's say I have an active testenv environment. I tried, by following documentation, with:

$ conda env remove

CondaEnvironmentError: cannot remove current environment. deactivate and run conda remove again

I then deactivate it:

$ source deactivate

I try running again the command to remove it and I still get the same error. What is going wrong here?

回答1:

You probably didn't fully deactivate the Conda environment - remember, the command you need to use with Conda is conda deactivate (for older versions, use source deactivate). So it may be wise to start a new shell and activate the environment in that before you try. Then deactivate it.

You can use the command

conda env remove -n ENV_NAME

to remove the environment with that name. (--name is equivalent to -n)

Note that you can also place environments anywhere you want using -p /path/to/env instead of -n ENV_NAME when both creating and deleting environments, if you choose. They don't have to live in your conda installation.

UPDATE, 30 Jan 2019: From Conda 4.6 onwards the conda activate command becomes the new official way to activate an environment across all platforms. The changes are described in this Anaconda blog post

After making sure your environment is not active, type:

$ conda env remove --name ENVIRONMENT

回答3:

Official documentation way worked for me:

conda remove --name myenv --all

Or just conda env remove --name myenv.

To verify that the environment was removed, in your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:

conda info --envs

The environments list that displays should not show the removed environment.

You anaconda3 enviroments folder might list an empty folder of deleted environment in your anaconda3 installation folder, like:

/opt/anaconda3/envs

There're 3 ways to achieve this in total. Assuming you have a environment named myenv,

conda env remove --name myenv, -n is shortcut for --name.
conda remove --name myenv --all.

Delete the env folder directly. (Not recommended)

# list environments and their locations
conda env list
# or
# conda info --envs

# delete the folder listed
rm -rf /Users/username/.local/share/conda/envs/myenv

If you wanna delete the environment without a prompt to let you check again. Use -y, shortcut for --yes. (For global use check silent prompt in conda)

conda env remove -n myenv -y
conda remove -n myenv --all -y

First you have to deactivate your environment before removing it. You can remove conda environment by using the following command

Suppose your environment name is "sample_env" , you can remove this environment by using

source deactivate    
conda remove -n sample_env --all

'--all' will be used to remove all the dependencies

回答6:

My environment name is: test

conda remove -n test --all

回答7:

Environments created with the --prefix or -p flag must be removed with the -p flag (not -n).

For example: conda remove -p </filepath/myenvironment> --all, in which </filepath/myenvironment> is substituted with a complete or relative path to the environment.

回答8:

Use source deactivate to deactivate the environment before removing it, replace ENV_NAME with the environment you wish to remove:

source deactivate
conda env remove -n ENV_NAME

回答9:

First deactivate the environment and come back to the base environment. From the base, you should be able to run the command conda env remove -n <envname>. This will give you the message

Remove all packages in environment C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\{envname}:
