python - How to uninstall jupyter

Question

I have been trying to uninstall jupyter

I have tried the following commands

pip uninstall jupyter
pip3 uninstall jupyter

and

rm -rf /Users/$user/Library/Jupyter/*

Even after running all these commands when I type jupyter in the terminal I get the following message

usage: jupyter [-h] [--version] [--config-dir] [--data-dir] [--runtime-dir]
               [--paths] [--json]
               [subcommand]
jupyter: error: one of the arguments --version subcommand --config-dir --data-dir --runtime-dir --paths is required

What exactly is going wrong and why am I still able to use the command?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use pip-autoremove (since it removes dependencies shared among other packages) and pip3 uninstall jupyter just removed some packages, then do the following:

Copy-Paste:

sudo may be needed as per your need.

python3 -m pip uninstall -y jupyter jupyter_core jupyter-client jupyter-console jupyterlab_pygments notebook qtconsole nbconvert nbformat

Note:

The above command will only uninstall jupyter specific packages. I have not added other packages to uninstall since they might be shared among other packages (eg: Jinja2 is used by Flask, ipython is a separate set of packages themselves, tornado again might be used by others).

In any case, all the dependencies are mentioned below(as of 21 Nov, 2020. jupyter==4.4.0 )

If you are sure you want to remove all the dependencies, then you can use Stan_MD's answer.
