How to uninstall pip packages which are installed from a *.txt file?

Question

I have just installed a bunch of pip packages and now nothing works anymore.

with:

pip install PATH/*.txt

Therefore how to uninstall my packages?

PS.: I am running win7

`pip uninstall` will uninstall individual packages. – Michael Mior Nov 01 '12 at 22:37 — Michael Mior, Nov 01 '12 at 22:37

There are some good suggestions in this related thread: python setup.py uninstall

EDIT: Maybe you need to remove all files manually, and also undo any other stuff that installation did manually.

If you don't know the list of all files, you can reinstall it with the --record option, and take a look at the list this produces.
