When I go to run scripts in the terminal, I get an error in a red box that says
Pycharm cannot run program C:\Anaconda\python.exe (in directory E:\etc... CreateProcessError=2 The System cannot find the file specified.
I have uninstalled Anaconda and reinstalled it. I have also reinstalled PyCharm. Thing is though, I am using Anaconda2 and have my interpreter as C:\\Users\\my_name\\Anaconda2 and this works when I apply it in settings. I am not sure where this path C:\\Anaconda\\python.exe is coming from in the error, as I have uninstalled Anaconda and reinstalled it to C:\\users\\my_name\\Anaconda2
If it is worth noting, I did import a PyCharm settings jar file earlier today, but then decided not to use it and to go back to my original settings. This was before uninstalling PyCharm and Anaconda out of frustration, so any effects of that I think should be moot anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck using the console until I can figure this out.
Thanks.
Most likely one of your installations was set for "All Users" and installed to the C:\ directory. The error is "The System cannot find the file specified." This is most likely because "C:\Anaconda\python.exe" does not exist and should be "C:\users\my_name\Anaconda2". Be sure you have set PyCharm to use the correct path "C:\users\my_name\Anaconda2". Here is a link on configuring this, https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/pycharm/.
You may want to check your PATH and remove anything pointing to C:\Anaconda in Control Panel> System> Advanced Settings> Environment Variables.
