How did you install `nltk`? If you're using `pip` then try `pip uninstall nltk`. — alvas, Jan 29 '17 at 10:17

Use http://stackoverflow.com/a/36383314/610569 to find the path where nltk saves the data. And then just delete the directory. BTW `nltk-trainer` and `nltk` are 2 different libraries =) — alvas, Jan 30 '17 at 14:47
