One conda env, multiple paths

I can't figure out why my base environment is stored in 8 different places. I just ran conda update --all and conda clean -all to try and make conda run faster, but I can't find any resources on why the base env would have so many duplicates. A related question: does this matter?

(base) PS C:\Windows\system32> conda env list
# conda environments:
#
base                  *  C:\Anaconda3
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted-levenshtein_1632528057644\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted-levenshtein_1632528103929\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted-levenshtein_1632528645279\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted-levenshtein_1632529570286\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted_levenshtein_1632526748438\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted_levenshtein_1632526811563\_h_env
                         C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\weighted_levenshtein_1632528679805\_h_env
tf                       C:\Anaconda3\envs\tf

It seems to me that the paths you see belong to different enviroments you created, the names are not shown because the location of the enviroments is different from your default location which is C:\Anaconda3\envs . That's why your last enviroment 'tf' does show the name because it is in the default path.

I don't think those are all copies of your base env, they look like they are intermediates from conda build commands and can be removed with conda build purge.

The format is a bit misleading, but the same format appears when you create a conda environment without a name, but with a target prefix, which you can verify by doing

conda create -p testEnv
conda info --envs
