Pip update the wrong python folder

Time:09-18

The first time I have installed Python on my machine, it was Spyder with Anaconda. But, with this version, I wasn't able to install pyodbc. So, I have install Visual Studio Code and everything works fine

But today, I have tried to update some libraries (like certify or scipy) but each time I use pip install, I update my Anaconda folder and not my WindowsApps folder.

So, when I use PIP, how to update the Windows folder and not Anaconda. And also how to remove Anaconda from my computer. In my Windows Settings, I have no app related to Anaconda (weird)

CodePudding user response:

Check your path, and which pip executable is being executed.

If you run it with the full path to your install in WindowsApps, then it should detect and update that version.

CodePudding user response:

You can check which pip you are using with the command of pip --version.

Press win to open the start menu and search uninstall-a to find the Uninstall-Anaconda3.exe or open the control-panel to uninstall it. Like the official docs recommended.
