How to uninstall package in Anaconda installed with pip

Question

The problem:

I have installed Anaconda:

conda -V conda 4.4.7 

Also I installed a lot of packages for it using python3 setup.py install. I used it for some packages created from setup.py files.

Now I want to uninstall one package.

What I tried:

pip uninstall packageName pip3 uninstall packageName conda uninstall packageName 

It works for python: check pip list and pip3 list and there isn't such package.

Error:

But for conda I got this:

conda uninstall packageName Solving environment: failed  PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are missing from the target environment:   - packageName 

Let's check:

conda list packageName 

P.S. I found info that conda uninstall and conda remove doesn't work in this case. But what to do then?

P.S.S. Actually I changed real package name at packageName but if this information is important I will add it.

You can use Jupyter Notebook to solve this problem :

• open Jupyter Notebook
• open a new notebook with the right kernel
• type !pip uninstall -y [package] in a code cell
• run the cell code
