No  it doesn t uninstall the dependencies packages  It only removes the specified package    pip install specloud   pip freeze   all the packages here are dependencies of specloud package   figleaf  0 6 1 nose  1 1 2 pinocchio  0 3 specloud  0 4 5    pip uninstall specloud   pip freeze   figleaf  0 6 1 nose  1 1 2 pinocchio  0 3  As you can see those packages are dependencies from specloud and they re still there  but not the specloud package itself  As mentioned below  You can install and use the pip-autoremove utility to remove a package plus unused dependencies
