rmvirtualenv does not remove a env

Question

I am a beginner in Python.

I am trying to remove a virtualenv which I have created before by using this command under C:>virtualenvs

rmvirtualenv test

and then I got the following

virtualenv "test" does not exist.

I still can see the directory listed under virtualenvs. I am on windows platform and have already installed virtualwrapper-win.

Please suggest how can I get rid of that env using the above command.

are you sure you created the virtual environment with virtualenvwrapper? — mic4ael, Aug 13 '16 at 18:44

@mic4ael No I don't. That virtual environment was created first and then I installed virtualenvwrapper directly under C drive. — Raj, Aug 13 '16 at 19:01

I have sorted out this issue.

Considering you have already installed virtualenvwrapper-win(if Windows)

The steps are --

1.Go to directory 'virtualenvs' (where all the envs are listed)
2.Make an env by using this command -- mkvirtualenv test (where test is a env name in my case)
3. Use this command  -- workon test
4. Deactivate test
5. To remove test use this command -- rmvirtualenv test

That's it.
