conda remove

Remove a list of packages from a specified conda environment.

This command will also remove any package that depends on any of the specified packages as well—unless a replacement can be found without that dependency. If you wish to skip this dependency checking and remove just the requested packages, add the ‘–force’ option. Note however that this may result in a broken environment, so use this with caution.

Options:

usage: conda remove [-h] [-n ENVIRONMENT | -p PATH] [-c CHANNEL] [--use-local]
                    [--override-channels] [--all] [--features]
                    [--force-remove] [--no-pin] [--prune] [-C] [-k]
                    [--offline] [-d] [--json] [-q] [-v] [-y]
                    [package_name [package_name ...]]

Positional Arguments

package_name

Package names to remove from the environment.

Target Environment Specification

-n, --name	Name of environment.
-p, --prefix	Full path to environment location (i.e. prefix).

Channel Customization

-c, --channel	Additional channel to search for packages. These are URLs searched in the order they are given (including file:// for local directories). Then, the defaults or channels from .condarc are searched (unless –override-channels is given). You can use ‘defaults’ to get the default packages for conda. You can also use any name and the .condarc channel_alias value will be prepended. The default channel_alias is http://conda.anaconda.org/.
--use-local	Use locally built packages. Identical to ‘-c local’.
--override-channels
	Do not search default or .condarc channels. Requires –channel.

Solver Mode Modifiers

--all	Remove all packages, i.e., the entire environment.
--features	Remove features (instead of packages).
--force-remove, --force
	Forces removal of a package without removing packages that depend on it. Using this option will usually leave your environment in a broken and inconsistent state.
--no-pin	Ignore pinned file.
--prune	Remove packages that have previously been brought into the environment to satisfy dependencies of user-requested packages, but are no longer needed.

Networking Options

-C, --use-index-cache
	Use cache of channel index files, even if it has expired.
-k, --insecure	Allow conda to perform “insecure” SSL connections and transfers. Equivalent to setting ‘ssl_verify’ to ‘false’.
--offline	Offline mode. Don’t connect to the Internet.

Output, Prompt, and Flow Control Options

-d, --dry-run	Only display what would have been done.
--json	Report all output as json. Suitable for using conda programmatically.
-q, --quiet	Do not display progress bar.
-v, --verbose	Can be used multiple times. Once for INFO, twice for DEBUG, three times for TRACE.
-y, --yes	Do not ask for confirmation.

Examples:

conda remove -n myenv scipy
