Anaconda: How to completely delete Python 3.4?

Question

I installed both Python 2.7 and 3.4 on my Mac (using the graphical installers from http://continuum.io/downloads). I only need to use 2.7. How can I completely delete 3.4? Thanks.

Answer 1

According to this Anaconda FAQ:

How do I uninstall Anaconda? Version 1.3.1 and later

Anaconda can be uninstalled by removing the root directory (~/anaconda by default; use the conda info command to confirm the location of the root directory). Version 1.4 and newer

OSX and Unix uninstalls remain the same as in previous versions.

On Windows, click the Start button, and navigate to the Control Panel and select Uninstall a program, then find Anaconda in the list of programs

---

So you'll have to look in $HOME/anaconda and delete the appropriate Python installation from there.

Answer 2

Just delete the anaconda directory. You can see what directory Python 3 is installed into by starting Python 3 and running

import sys
print(sys.prefix)
