How do I remove/delete a virtualenv?

问题:

I created an environment with the following command: virtualenv venv --distribute

I cannot remove it with the following command: rmvirtualenv venv - This is part of virtualenvwrapper as mentioned in answer below for virtualenvwrapper

I do an lson my current directory and I still see venv

The only way I can remove it seems to be: sudo rm -rf venv

Note that the environment is not active. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. Any ideas? I've tried rebooting my system to no avail.

回答1:

That's it! There is no command for deleting your virtual environment. Simply deactivate it and rid your application of its artifacts by recursively removing it.

回答2:

Just to echo what @skytreader had previously commented, rmvirtualenv is a command provided by virtualenvwrapper, not virtualenv. Maybe you didn't have virtualenvwrapper installed?

See VirtualEnvWrapper Command Reference for more details.

回答3:

Use rmvirtualenv

Remove an environment, in the $WORKON_HOME.

Syntax:

rmvirtualenv ENVNAME

You must use deactivate before removing the current environment.

$ rmvirtualenv my_env

Reference: http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html

回答4:

You can remove all the dependencies by recursively uninstalling all of them and then delete the venv.

Edit including Isaac Turner commentary

source venv/bin/activate
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y
deactivate
rm -r venv/

回答5:

Simply remove the virtual environment from the system.There's no special command for it

rm -rf venv

回答6:

from virtualenv's official document https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/

Removing an Environment

Removing a virtual environment is simply done by deactivating it and deleting the environment folder with all its contents:

(ENV)$ deactivate
$ rm -r /path/to/ENV

回答7:

I used pyenv uninstall my_virt_env_name to delete the virual environment.

Note: I'm using pyenv-virtualenv installed through the install script.

回答8:

if you are windows user, then it's in C:\Users\your_user_name\Envs. You can delete it from there.

Also try in command prompt rmvirtualenv environment name.

I tried with command prompt so it said deleted but it was still existed. So i manually delete it.

回答9:

deactivate is the command you are looking for. Like what has already been said, there is no command for deleting your virtual environment. Simply deactivate it!

回答10:

The following command works for me.

rm -rf /path/to/virtualenv

回答11:

so, I have done a bit of google, but none of the answers were satisfactory.

But accidentally , while scrolling through man pages of pip(utility to install python supported packages - virtualenv is one of them) , it was documented to use of "uninstall" keyword with pip, below is exact output straight from my terminal
