I love Anaconda but it has given me so many headaches that I want to try removing it from my machine and starting over from scratch. The issues stem from paths changing behind the scenes and other things I don't understand. For example, I had to create a virtual environment within Anaconda (source create
) just to use Spyder. I installed the Quantitative Economics package from home brew (brew install quantecon
) and it too only works if I create a virtual environment for it. Weird stuff.
My question is: is starting over as simple as
conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes
rm -rf ~/anaconda
and then reinstalling? Or are there other dependencies, possibly hidden, that I should be concerned about? My big concern is accidentally deleting the Mac OS python.

You need to clean a few more files and directories:
OS X Anaconda uninstall
To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window and remove the entire anaconda install directory:
rm -rf ~/anaconda
. You may also edit~/.bash_profile
and remove the anaconda directory from your PATH environment variable, and remove the hidden.condarc
file and.conda
and.continuum
directories which may have been created in the home directory withrm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
.
