How do I delete pip and python

Time:11-25

I've been having a lot of trouble with python and pip, I think both got corrupted or something. I'm new to all this. I'm using a Macbook pro running Monterey and I was curious how to delete python and pip so I can re-install them. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I have it all installed in the terminal, no applications I think.

If you installed the earlier version of Python, you can take this method to uninstall it from your Mac. First open the Terminal, and input the following command lines:

sudo rm -rf “/Applications/Python”
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/python

In order to delete pip you can use the following command

sudo python -m pip uninstall pip

or

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove python3-pip

I hope that my answer will be useful.

Since you're using mac you can type into terminal the following command to get the path of python and pip:

Python:

python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"

Pip:

which pip

Just use rm -r followed by the path you got
