how to delete /root/.local/lib/python2.7?

I wonder whether /root/.local/lib/python2.7... affect other functions.

Some packages were installed by sudo pip install --user package by mistake and it was written in /root/.local/lib/python2.7/...

During uninstallation of some packages by sudo pip uninstall --user package, there still is /root/.local/lib/python2.7 directory. I am afraid, it will continuously make an unexpected problem when updating other packages. So I want to completely remove that directory.

How to remove /root/.local/lib/python2.7 totally?

Will it invoke another problem if I remove /root/.local/lib/python2.7 directly using rm?

sudo rm -rf /root/.local/lib/python2.7

It shouldn't. The directory isn't used for the system python scripts. To be on the safe side you can rename it and wait a few days before removing in completely.
