How do I uninstall xgboost python package?

I have built and installed XGBoost on my system (Ubuntu 16.04) following the provided instructions. Specifically, I have installed it running

python3 setup.py install --user

in its python-package directory.

How can I now uninstall it?

When I try with pip3 I get:

-> pip3 uninstall xgboost

Not uninstalling xgboost at /home/fanta/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/xgboost-0.7-py3.5.egg, outside environment /home/fanta/.local/python3.5

I am using virtualenv under Ubuntu 16.04.

Packages installed manually with python setup.py install shouldn't be uninstalled with pip uninstall. You have to remove files and directories yourself. Remove /home/fanta/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/xgboost-0.7-py3.5.egg.

Next time you could install things with pip install . in the source code directory.
