Remove PyTorch from Anaconda using Conda: PyTorch 2.0

PyTorch is a popular open-source machine learning library that is used for building deep learning models. If you ever need to uninstall PyTorch from your Anaconda environment, you may have various reasons for doing so. This tutorial will guide you through the process of uninstalling PyTorch from Anaconda using the command line.

Here are the steps to uninstall PyTorch from Anaconda:

Step 1: Open Anaconda Prompt
First, open Anaconda Prompt on your system. You can do this by searching for "Anaconda Prompt" in the start menu or by typing "Anaconda Prompt" in the search bar.

Step 2: Activate the Anaconda Environment
If you want to uninstall PyTorch from a specific Anaconda environment, activate that environment using the following command:

conda activate <environment_name>

Replace <environment_name> with the name of the Anaconda environment where PyTorch is installed.

Step 3: Uninstall PyTorch
To uninstall PyTorch, use the following command:

conda uninstall pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorch

This command will uninstall PyTorch, torchvision, and torchaudio from your Anaconda environment. The cpuonly flag is used to indicate that you want to uninstall the CPU version of PyTorch. If you have installed the GPU version, replace cpuonly with cudatoolkit.

Step 4: Check Uninstallation
After running the uninstall command, check if PyTorch has been successfully uninstalled by running the following command:

conda list

This command will display a list of packages installed in your Anaconda environment. Make sure that PyTorch, torchvision, and torchaudio are no longer listed in the output.

Step 5: Deactivate the Anaconda Environment
If you wish to deactivate the Anaconda environment, run the following command:

conda deactivate

This will deactivate the Anaconda environment and return you to the base environment.

Step 6: Remove the Anaconda Environment (Optional)
If you want to completely remove the Anaconda environment where PyTorch was installed, you can do so by running the following command:

conda env remove -n <environment_name>

Replace <environment_name> with the name of the Anaconda environment you wish to remove.

In conclusion, this tutorial guided you through the process of uninstalling PyTorch from an Anaconda environment. By following these steps, you can successfully remove PyTorch and its related packages from your Anaconda setup. Remember to double-check the uninstallation by running conda list to ensure that PyTorch has been removed.
