I recently ran the following command to install the Amazon Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (EB CLI). I would now like to remove it from my Windows 10 machine.
C:\Users\Cale>pip install --upgrade --user awsebcli
What is the best command to run to ensure that its fully removed from my machine?
I was able to uninstall using the following command:
C:\Users\Cale>pip uninstall awsebcli
I was uncertain how to do the uninstall since I specified --user in the original install command. This stackoverflow article helped me understand that the --user option would not matter during the uninstall process.
How to uninstall a package installed with pip install --user
For me, the awsebcli is not present in the pip list command that references the $PATH. I get this error:
Skipping awsebcli as it is not installed.
Apparently, it's on the pip executable(s) in this location (Windows, PowerShell format):
$env:userprofile\.ebcli-virtual-env\Scripts\
The uninstall command worked properly using one of those executables.
After that, it it seems that deleting the .ebcli-virtual-env will remove it fully from the machine: How do I remove/delete a virtualenv? (disclaimer: I'm not a pythonista :) )
