Remove all pip packages

I'm using Linux/Manjaro KDE.

Since I was not familiar with Venv I installed more than 50 packages in my global and not everything is conflicted. In order to clean up all pip packages I tried this command:

pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall

and even this one:

python -m pip freeze > requirements.txt
python -m pip uninstall -r requirements.txt

In both cases I get this error:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'apparmor'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

and then the progress will be interrupted. Any solution?

Solution

  • I could remove everything like this: To get room permissions:

    sudo su

    and then removed anything on this location:

    /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
