How Do I Delete a Conda Environment?

Published in Conda 1 min read

To delete a Conda environment, you can use the conda env remove command. This command will remove the specified environment and all its packages.

Here's how to delete a Conda environment:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.

  2. Type the following command, replacing environment_name with the name of the environment you want to delete:

    conda env remove -n environment_name
  3. Press Enter to execute the command.

Example:

To delete an environment named "my_env", you would use the following command:

conda env remove -n my_env

Important Note:

  • This action is irreversible. Once you delete an environment, it cannot be recovered.
  • Make sure you have a backup of any important data or files before deleting an environment.

Additional Information:

  • You can also use the --yes flag to skip the confirmation prompt:

     conda env remove -n environment_name --yes
  • If you are unsure of the environment name, you can list all available environments using the conda env list command.
