How do I remove a Python virtual environment?

To remove a Python virtual environment, you can simply delete the directory where the virtual environment is located.

Is there a command I can use instead of deleting the folder?

No, the standard way is to delete the folder. However, you can use deactivate to exit the environment before deletion.

What if I want to remove it using a script?

You can write a script that uses shutil.rmtree() in Python to remove the virtual environment directory programmatically.

Can you show me an example of that script?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import shutil
import os

env_path = 'path/to/your/venv'
if os.path.exists(env_path):
    shutil.rmtree(env_path)
