  • This generally works for conda environments, but it does not work for the `base` environment, which cannot be removed. – Pridkett Feb 20 '21 at 18:36

It doesn't appear there is a way to remove the base environment. However, you can roll back revisions within in conda. You can list the revisions of your base environment by using conda list --revisions. From there you can roll back to previous revision of the environment by using conda install --revision <REVNUM>.

If you want to reset the environment to as close as you can get from the initial install run conda install --revision 0.
