Cannot uninstall requirement jupyter, not installed

I have installed jupyter but want to uninstall it. It however is not possible:

$ pip freeze | grep jupyter

$ pip3 freeze | grep jupyter
jupyter-client==5.1.0
jupyter-console==5.2.0
jupyter-core==4.3.0

$ pip3 uninstall jupyter 
Cannot uninstall requirement jupyter, not installed

$ which jupyter
/usr/local/bin/jupyter

What can I do to remove this jupyter?

EDIT After: sudo pip3 uninstall jupyter-client jupyter-console jupyter-core I have uninstalled this 3 packages however still remaining are (2xTab):

$ jupyter-
jupyter-bundlerextension  jupyter-nbconvert         jupyter-nbextension       jupyter-notebook          jupyter-qtconsole         jupyter-serverextension   jupyter-trust

And pip says they are not there:

$ pip3 freeze | grep jupyter
$ pip freeze | grep jupyter

and when trying to remove any of them I got same eg:

sudo -H pip uninstall jupyter-notebook
Cannot uninstall requirement jupyter-notebook, not installed

So how to remove completelly those packages too?

in case you were trying to uninstall jupyter because jupyter throwing below error while running jupyter notebook
zsh: /usr/local/bin/jupyter: bad interpreter: /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.6: no such file or directory,

u can fix that without uninstalling jupyter using below command

Python3 : pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir jupyter

Python2 : pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir jupyter

reference : https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_core/issues/127

Above steps worked for me in Mac

The scripts you mention are provided by the pip package named notebook, which can be installed as part of the jupyter metapackage, but can also be installed standalone. Try

sudo -H pip uninstall notebook
