Python Package removed by typing "pip uninstall package_name" in terminal, still shows up in the list output of "pip list"

Question

Is this normal? How do I make sure that the package (named folium) is completely removed from my computer?

I see a folder called "package_name.dist-info" under Users/my_name/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

I also have conda installed on my computer so when I do $conda list, the package shows in that output list also.

Thank you for any help.

No, as far as I'm aware, that is not normal. It looks like the folium package is in the site-packages for anaconda. Perhaps your pip is not also the anaconda pip? What does which pip say? Perhaps try to uninstall using the anaconda pip directly via /Users/my_name/anaconda/bin/pip uninstall folium.

If that doesn't work, you can remove the "package_name.dist-info" folder you found and it should stop showing up in your pip list and conda list. You probably also want to check if the actual folium package is in the site-packages and remove that too.
