Creating new Conda env --- CondaVerificationError:The package for openssl is corrupted

Question

I'm trying to create a new conda environment from anaconda prompt. The problem is, I get a CondaVerificationError and it points to a corrupt file. When it comes to envs I'm hesitant to experiment. I did upgrade conda packages recently and I am thinking that's when the file got corrupted. With these errors it will not allow me to create an env. If someone can help me here I would greatly appreicate it. Here's what its showing me...

(base) C:\Users\Nick>conda create --name myenv python=3.7
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done

should I go in and manually delete `C:\Users\Nick\Anaconda3\pkgs\openssl-1.1.1d-he774522_2` — Nick T, Oct 10 '19 at 13:53
Oh I see what you mean. Anaconda handled the OpenSSL install, yes? In that case, I’m not quite sure the best way to proceed :/ — , Oct 10 '19 at 13:57

The issue is recently registered here I am getting an InvalidArchiveError in anaconda prompt when I am trying to install spacy. How to solve it?

Not to duplicate the answers, the short answer is, delete all openssl* in pkgs, conda install -c conda-forge libarchive, for example, will reinstall openssl again fixing the corruption issue.

I went to file explorer and manually deleted the package. That solved the issue. When I tried creating a new conda env, it'll automatically install openssl again.
