I'm trying to uninstall anaconda completely from my system. To do so, I follow instructions mentioned in Anaconda Documentation for Full Uninstall.
When I run conda install anaconda-clean, I get the message -
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: |
The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
The following packages are causing the inconsistency:
# list of external libraries/packages
failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

done
==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
current version: 4.12.0
latest version: 23.5.0
Please update conda by running
$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
# List of packages that will be UPDATED & DOWNGRADED
Proceed ([y]/n)?
When I proceed, I get the error -
Preparing transaction: done
Verifying transaction: failed
RemoveError: 'requests' is a dependency of conda and cannot be removed from conda's operating environment.
When I try to update conda using - conda update -n base -c defaults conda as suggested, I still get the above RemoveError.
How can I avoid removing requests and still uninstall conda? Any work around or alternative procedure would also be helpful.
