Uninstalled Julia - How to reset conda path variables

Question

I uninstalled Julia, JuliaPro using windows Remove Program option from Control Panel. But it looks like it has manipulated my conda python distribution paths; now the conda-base environment points to juliapro.

1. How can I remove/uninstall everything related to Julia/Juliapro permanently

2. point my conda to its original base path that is used for python.

    (base) C:\\>conda info active environment : base active env location : C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3 shell level : 1 user config file : C:\\Users\\username\\.condarc populated config files : C:\\Users\\username\\.condarc conda version : 4.6.7 conda-build version : not installed python version : 3.6.5.final.0 base environment : C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3 (writable) channel URLs : https://conda.anaconda.org/intel/win-64 https://conda.anaconda.org/intel/noarch https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64 https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/win-64 https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/noarch https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/win-64 https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/win-64 https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/noarch package cache : C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3\\pkgs C:\\Users\\username\\.conda\\pkgs C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\conda\\conda\\pkgs envs directories : C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3\\envs C:\\Users\\username\\.conda\\envs C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\conda\\conda\\envs platform : win-64 user-agent : conda/4.6.7 requests/2.18.4 CPython/3.6.5 Windows/10 Windows/10.0.17134 administrator : False netrc file : None offline mode : False 

Answer 1

1. Remove/uninstall Julia
2. Remove .julia folder - usually it is %HOMEPATH%\\.julia
3. Have a look at %HOMEPATH%\\.conda the environments.txt file there could point to your Julia - edit the file
4. Have a look at jupyter_notebook_config.py at %HOMEPATH%\\.jupyter - likely your Julia conda is referenced there. You can safely delete that folder.
5. Open System properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables and remove Julia related paths

Normally you should be clean after the steps above :-)

Answer 2

Looks like there is a genuine conda install in C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda , as you can find the conda executable and scripts there according to your comment:

 C:\\> where conda C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3\\Library\\bin\\conda.bat C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3\\Scripts\\conda.exe C:\\Users\\username\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.0.3.1\\conda\\3\\condabin\\conda.bat 

Likely deleting this directory will remove your Julia install, but you should ensure your initial conda install still exists somewhere else beforehand.

From the result of conda info , I expect you will find your previous install under C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\conda\\conda\\ .
