Uninstall Software
===================

In some cases, removing Python or an editor is necessary.
Here you will find guides on how to uninstall **Conda**, **Python** and **Visual Studio Code**. 

If you experience hard-to-resolve problems, it might be because you have
installed all packages in your global Python home (i.e. using ``pip``
in your base installation, *not* in a virtual environment).
If this is the case, you are recommended to delete your installation,
and when using a new one, please remember to use :ref:`environments <packages-and-environments>`.
