ImportError: cannot import name 'tqdm' from 'conda._vendor.tqdm' (unknown location)

Question

Hello I am using mac actually when I searched analytics in finder I removed some folders (I thought they are useless:) after that when I type conda update or such I am getting those errors and further more.

I am keeping exact error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/nunemunthalashiva/anaconda3/bin/conda", line 13, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

Python comes with some libraries that are required to preform some basic operation later in python such as update or install libraries. I think you removed those python libraries that are required to update/used in other....to remove these error you have to add/restore those libraries or reinstall python.
