Nuke your conda!

It is useful to know how to entirely get rid of all things conda. On a Unix-like system.

First remove the installation itself and all config/cache files:

rm -rf ~/miniconda3 ~/.conda*

Then, you will want to remove what it added to your login scripts to auto-activate your base environment when you log in. On a Linux machine, that file is ~/.bashrc. On macOS, I believe is it ~/.bash_profile. In either case, there’s a “dotfile” for your shell, the end of which has a chunk of shell code related to conda. On my machine, it looks like this:

# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/home/condauser/miniconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/home/condauser/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/home/condauser/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
    else
        export PATH="/home/condauser/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<

Use your favorite text editor to remove that. Restart your shell/terminal, and you are now free from conda! You can re-install now.
