How to remove a virtualenv created by “pipenv run”

Question

I am learning Python. In one of my small projects I ran

pipenv run python myproject.py

and it created a virtualenv for me in C:\Users\USERNAME\.virtualenvs

I found it also created or modified some files under my project source code directory. I am just wondering how to cleanly delete this virtualenv and reverse my project back to a no-virtualenv state.

I am using python 3.6.4, and PyCharm.

Answer 1

I googled a lot and finally I just manually deleted the relevant virtualenv folder and the associated Pipfile.

Answer 2

You can run the pipenv command with the --rm option as in:

pipenv --rm

This will remove the virtualenv created for you under ~/.virtualenvs

See https://docs.pipenv.org/#cmdoption-pipenv-rm
