Uninstall Django completely

Question

I uninstalled django on my machine using pip uninstall Django  It says successfully uninstalled whereas when I see django version in python shell  it still gives the older version I installed   To remove it from python path  I deleted the django folder under  usr local lib python-2 7 dist-packages    However sudo pip search Django   more   Django command still shows Django installed version  How do i completely remove it

Use Python shell to find out the path of Django:

>>> import django
>>> django
<module 'django' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/__init__.pyc'>

Then remove it manually:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/

On Windows  I had this issue with static files cropping up under pydev eclipse with python 2 7  due to an instance of django  1 8 7  that had been installed under cygwin  This caused a conflict between windows style paths and cygwin style paths  So  unfindable static files despite all the above fixes  I removed the extra distribution  so that all packages were installed by pip under windows  and this fixed the issue

I used the same method mentioned by  S-T after the pip uninstall command  And even after that the I got the message that Django was already installed  So i deleted the  Django-1 7 6 egg-info  folder from   usr lib python2 7 dist-packages  and then it worked for me

Got it solved  I missed to delete the egg info files of all previous Django versions  Removed them from  usr local lib python2 7 dist-packages  Also from  usr lib python2 7 dist-packages  if any present here   sudo pip freeze  grep Django sudo pip show -f Django sudo pip search Django   more    Django   All above commands should not show Django version to verify clean uninstallation

Remove any old versions of Django  If you are upgrading your installation of Django from a previous version  you will need to uninstall the old Django version before installing the new version   If you installed Django using pip or easy install previously  installing with pip or easy install again will automatically take care of the old version  so you don   t need to do it yourself   If you previously installed Django using python setup py install  uninstalling is as simple as deleting the django directory from your Python site-packages  To find the directory you need to remove  you can run the following at your shell prompt  not the interactive Python prompt      python -c  import django  print django path

The Issue is with pip --version or python --version   try solving issue with pip2 7 uninstall Django command  If you are not able to uninstall using the above command then for sure your pip2 7 version is not installed so you can follow the below steps   1 which pip2 7 it should give you an output like this     usr local bin pip2 7   2  If you have not got this output please install pip using following commands    wget https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   sudo python2 7 get-pip py   3  Now check your pip version   which pip2 7 Now you will get    usr local bin pip2 7 as output    4  uninstall Django using pip2 7 uninstall Django command   Problem can also be related to Python version  I had a similar problem  this is how I uninstalled Django   Issue occurred because I had multiple python installed in my virtual environment     ls  activate       activate this py  easy install-3 4  pip2 7  python     python3        wheel activate csh   easy install      pip               pip3    python2    python3 4 activate fish  easy install-2 7  pip2              pip3 4  python2 7  python-config   Now when I tried to un-install using pip uninstall Django Django got uninstalled from python 2 7 but not from python 3 4 so I followed the following steps to resolve the issue    1 alias python  usr bin python3  2  Now check your python version using python -V command  3  If you have switched to your required python version now you can simply uninstall Django using pip3 uninstall Django command  Hope this answer helps

I had to use pip3 instead of pip in order to get the right versions for the right version of python  python 3 4 instead of python 2 x   Check what you got install at   usr local lib python3 4 dist-packages  Also  when you run python  you might have to write python3 4 instead of python in order to use the right version of python

pip search command does not show installed packages  but search packages in pypi   Use pip freeze command and grep to see installed packages   pip freeze   grep Django
