How do I remove all packages installed by pip?

How do I uninstall all packages installed by pip from my currently activated virtual environment?
I've found this snippet as an alternative solution. It's a more graceful removal of libraries than remaking the virtualenv: pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -y In case you have packages installed via VCS, you need to exclude those lines and remove the packages manually (elevated from the comments below): pip freeze --exclude-editable | xargs pip uninstall -y If you have packages installed directly from github/gitlab, those will have @. Like: django @ git+https://github.com/django.git@<sha> You can add cut -d "@" -f1 to get just the package name that is required to uninstall it. pip freeze | cut -d "@" -f1 | xargs pip uninstall -y
