If you want to delete a Python Virtual Environment in a proper way, then follow the below steps.
Step 1: deactivate the Virtual Environment
Make sure that the venv than you want to delete is not active. If it is, you can deactivate it as follows,
Move to the bin folder:
cd /Users/c2ctech/Desktop/virtualenv/binRun the deactivate command:
(virtualenv) Code2care@Mac % deactivateStep 2: Delete the Virtual Environment Directory
Once we deactivate the virtual environment, we are good to delete the directory once sure that it is no longer needed.
macOS/Linux/Bash:
rm -r ~/Desktop/virtualenv Windows:
rmdir /s /q C:\data\python\virtualenv
