Deactivate and remove only environment

Users conda
1

I have decided that conda is not what I want to use. I have deactivated and removed several envs and am now left with the base env. It deactivated but trying to remove it obtained:
EnvironmentLocationNotFound: Not a conda environment: d:\User\Lou\miniforge3
although a conda env list still lists it, and so I can’t remove it. It would be nice to delete all the little dot and hidden files from everywhere if that’s possible.
And I will be uninstalling conda/mini-forge thereafter.

Is this a hidden permissions problem?

Decided to try the uninstall of mini-forge and it seemed to work.
Happy New Year!

beat me to it – for the record, conda (miniforge, too) requires the base environment – it is used to run conda itself. So it can not be removed, except by uninstalling all of miniforge, as you have discovered.

NOTE: Im pretty sure you could have simply uninstalled miniforge, without first deleting all the environments – and even if that didn’t work, you could simply delete the environment folders themselves directly.
