Delete 'Python Interactive' environment created by VSCode inside Jupyter?

Question

I ran some jupyter notebook using VSCode. However, VSCode created some 'Python Interactive' environment which appears in my Jupyter Notebook. How do I remove them?

Answer 1

Sorry that's a bug in the python extension.

To delete them you can follow the directions here: remove kernel on jupyter notebook

They're just json files in a directory that Jupyter maintains. The VS Code python extension created them to get our kernel to work.

Answer 2

If you still see these after deleting using jupyter kernelspec uninstall unwanted-kernal , you can clear these by uninstalling and then reinstalling your Jupyter extension in VSCode.

In VSCode, click the 'extensions' icon, then search 'Jupyter'. Uninstall it. Then install it.
