How can I delete a virtual environement created with
python3 -m venv <name> Can I just remove the directory?
This seems like a question googling should easily answer, but I only found answers for deleting environments created with virtualenv or pyvenv.

There is no command for deleting your virtual environment. Simply deactivate it and rid your application of its artifacts by recursively removing it. Note that this is the same regardless of what kind of virtual environment you are using.
You can deactivate a virtual environment by typing “deactivate” in your shell. The exact mechanism is platform-specific and is an internal implementation detail (typically a script or shell function will be used).
venv (for Python 3) and virtualenv (for Python 2) allow you to manage separate package installations for different projects. They essentially allow you to create a “virtual” isolated Python installation and install packages into that virtual installation.
Yes, delete the directory. it's where executables for the venv and modules and libraries and entire other stuff for venvs is kept.
