Strange exception while using pip to install python packages after deleting rabbitmq in Ubuntu 18.04

Question

Good morining, I was trying to install RabbitMQ in my Ubuntu18.04 but it was like brain surgery. I have decided to remove everything, but now when I try to install python packages with pip, the terminal return strange exceptions. I have similar problems when I try to compile a python script with visualStudio. I really appreciate your help. Stay tech! These are the exceptions:

pip3 install numpy
Collecting numpy

There is an excessive URL in ~/.pip/pip.conf or ~/.config/pip/pip.conf . Remove it and retry.
