Best way to completely uninstall Anaconda distribution

[Kraizelburg]

Hi all, I haven been messing with data science and I installed Anaconda for Jupiter notebooks and Spyder IDE, now I want to uninstall it but I can't find any reliable way to do it in Mac. Simply dragging the anaconda navigator to the trash won't do the job as Anaconda install lots of packages.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Did you look at this document? https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/
Anaconda is typically only installed in the user environment so everything will be contained within your home folder.

Yes thanks, I had already read that article but for some reason the "conda install anaconda-clean" command doesn't work, I guess because during installation I didn't add python to the path.

So you say that anaconda doesn't install any files or packages in the root? for some reason it feels like anaconda takes the whole system with a variety of files and folders, call me paranoid but I like to have my Mac clean.

Anaconda would just be installed in your environment. Probably because it updates your path, it appears to you that it's installed for all system users.
