I installed Anaconda and created a new env ("dell_proj"). Then I created a new Project in Pycharm with my new environment. My expectation was that I would only be able to use packages in this project that I installed through Conda in that specific env, however, I am able to use all packages that were installed in the Base environment.
Packages shown available in Conda for env
Packages shown available in Pycharm for env
Could somebody explain what I'm misunderstanding here?

By default, conda creates a new environment folder and installs all the packages inside . conda folder in your home directory but this space is limited and cannot be shared with other users.
With conda, you can create, export, list, remove, and update environments that have different versions of Python and/or packages installed in them. Switching or moving between environments is called activating the environment. You can also share an environment file.
You do NOT need to create an environment for every project. However if particular projects require particular versions of libraries, a particular version of Python etc then you can create a virtual environment to capture all of those dependencies.
If you'd like to create an environment with a different version of Python, then just add that to the command line; e.g. As I understand the command is 'conda create --name <envname> [list of packages]'.
You can create a clone of the base environment using
conda create --name dell_proj --clone base. This will create a new environment that is a copy of your base environment.
If you created the new environment using something like conda create --name dell_proj, it will not inherit packages from the base environment. You would have to install the packages you want using conda install.

In windows you create an environment without specifying the python version, then it will create the new environment with all packages in base. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature but this works in windows.
conda create -n new_env
creates an environment with base packages
conda create -n new_env python=3.7
creates new environment only with some necessary packages given below
ca-certificates
certifi
openssl
pip
python
setuptools
sqlite
vc
vs2015_runtime
wheel
wincertstore
