How to uninstall Jupyter notebook that was installed with pip3

Question

I've installed anaconda and that came with its own Jupyter version so I want to uninstall the Jupyter that I installed using pip3. I searched for instruction and tried using pip3 uninstall Jupyter, but that does not seem correct because I get the following, which it says is Jupyter 1.0.0:

Uninstalling jupyter-1.0.0:
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/jupyter.cpython-36.pyc
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/DESCRIPTION.rst
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/INSTALLER
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/METADATA
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/RECORD
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/WHEEL
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/metadata.json
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/pbr.json
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter-1.0.0.dist-info/top_level.txt
  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyter.py

I know I can also try pip3 uninstall notebook, but that shows a bunch of files that I'm not sure is actually Jupyter.

This must seem like such a simple question, but I've searched and haven't found clear answer. Thank you!

Unfortunately there's no simple solution. The "pip install jupyter" command installs various dependencies and so you'll probably have to uninstall them all seperately.

The packages associated with Jupyter are:

• notebook
• nbconvert
• nbformat
• ipykernel
• ipywidgets
• qtconsole
• traitlets
• tornado
• anything with jupyter in front of it (jupyter_core, jupyter_client etc.)
• ipython_genutils
• jinja2

Some of these aren't Jupyter only (tornado, qtconsole, jinja2 etc) but if you're sure you're not using them then feel free to uninstall.
