Conda uninstall stuck

Product Help

Hi,

I’m trying to uninstall pytorch I installed using

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch

Then I tried to uniinstall using,

conda uninstall pytorch

But it just hangs with,

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: -

After 2 hours I just closed the comand window. I really need to get this version of pytorch uninstalled so I can install a GPU friendly version, for whatever reason the default package from conda appears to be the CPU version as far as I can tell.

Thanks

dear drbwts.

Thank you for your contribution to the anaconda community.
Well, PyTorch downloaded from the following URL may be CPU-oriented and weak against GPU.

https://anaconda.org/pytorch/pytorch

However, PytTorch is also provided in another way in conda.

CUBA10.2: conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
CUBA11.3 : conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch
CUBA11.6: conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.6 -c pytorch -c conda-forge
ROCm5.1.1: not available

For deletion, currently

conda remove pytorch
conda remove -n “your enviroment” pytorch

is the default and uninstall is used for compatibility with older versions.

Best regards

Hi thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still results in the command line hanging at the “Solving enironment” stage
