condaremove

PowerShell script to completely remove any preexisting user or system-wide installations of Anaconda and/or Miniconda. Does the following:

1. Searches for user or system installations of Anaconda or Miniconda from common install locations.
2. For each detected installation, removes pkgs and envs directories (if present).
3. Looks for and attempts to run the uninstaller. Deletes install directory if uninstaller fails or is not found.
4. Deletes all user configuration files as the anaconda-clean tool would.
5. Deletes additional common user and system configuration files from %APPDATA% and %ProgramData%.
6. Removes ALL Python-related registry keys (you will need to restore any non-conda Python registry keys).
7. Removes all invalid and conda-related entries from both user and system PATH. (Any entries that do not resolve to an existing directory will be removed.)
8. Clears the Start menu of any conda-related entries.

When running on a multi-user system, note that the script only removes user-based installs and user configuration files for the user running the script. This means that any configuration files resulting from a system-wide installation will still be present in other user accounts.

To run the script, run the following commands in an elevated (administrator) PowerShell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ukukas/condaremove/main/condaremove.ps1" -OutFile "~\condaremove.ps1"
Invoke-Expression ~\condaremove.ps1
Remove-Item ~\condaremove.ps1
