anaconda2 still shows up in home directory after sudo rm -rf

Question

I tried to uninstall anaconda2 and thought I was successful since conda didn't show up in the command line anymore.

However, when I use

locate anaconda2

The directory still shows up in $HOME even though when I try to cd into anaconda2, the response is that anaconda2 no longer exists?

You have all information in this official documentation.

To uninstall anaconda like you want, you can do:

conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes

rm -rf ~/anaconda3
rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup

And finally clean your ~/.bash_profile file from something which would look like:

# added by AnacondaX Y.Z.0 installer
export PATH="/Users/sfish/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
