I am new to Anaconda… I am taking a course from Mongodb University which has me downloading and installing Anaconda. In the installation it creates the directory anaconda3…
My issue is that I am stuck getting anaconda to access local host… So… I was going to restart my installation process. To do this I needed to remove anaconda…
I am using a macbook pro running Big Sur version 12.1. I am also using zsh instead of bash. I googled how to remove the program and stack overflow recommend the following command
conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes.
When I run this I get the error: zsh: command not found: anaconda-clean.
Is there any documentation on how to uninstall anaconda so I can reinstall it. I tried to reinstall but the installation program will not complete now that I have ran those commands.
Any help will be really appreciated

I’m watching this post because I’ve learned that “uninstalling anaconda” in windows doesn’t really do jack sh!t if you’re trying to remove it as a troubleshooting step. I’m in hell because of a number of undocumented bugs that are supposedly “closed”.
There’s all kinds of files that remain. Be sure to delete what gets installed in %appdata% (Roaming) as well as the base install directory %userprofile%. Make sure you can see hidden folders. Look for .conda and Anaconda3. You might even have stuff in %programdata%. The uninstaller is trash and the “clean” function is also crap.
Thanks… I have gotten absolutely NO help from community… And the website support won’t help. It just points you to the community… I am about ready to slick, my hard drive and start over… It really sucks cause I don’t want to just back this up with my backup feature… I’m really frustrated.
On Windows, anaconda will (by default, if you’ve admin rights) install in C:\Anaconda3. In that folder, there will be a file called uninstall-anaconda.exe.
But I’m not a mac user, so that could be different. According to the documentation:
Open the Terminal.app or iTerm2 terminal application, and then remove your entire Anaconda directory, which has a name such as anaconda2 , anaconda3 , or ~/opt . Enter rm -rf ~/anaconda3 to remove the directory.

Btw, I googled “anaconda uninstall mac os” and this documenation page was the first to show up. I wonder how you first ended up on StackOverflow…
