RemoveError: 'setuptools' is a dependency of conda and cannot be removed from
conda's operating environment.

I have been using anaconda on window 7, 64 bit.

  • What command(s) did you run? Is that the entire output/error? – AMC Mar 10 '20 at 22:32
  • @AMC I used "conda update --all" . This is not entire output. After I executed the command I was provided with list of packages to be updated and asked to proceed by, "Proceed ([y]/n)? ". The output after entering "y" is as above. – Sana Mar 12 '20 at 13:30

This error is about you can not update setuptools in conda env, so you should update conda dependency as fllow 'conda update --update-deps conda' first. This worked for me.

After trying a number of way, I Could not resolve the issue. Finally, I uninstalled the anaconda, downloaded latest version form the anacondas website and re-installed it. However, now I have to reinstall all the packages, as well.

You can do the following steps: 1- Run Anaconda command prompt as administrator 2-Execute the command: "conda update -n base -c defaults conda"

Have you tried the console run on administration mode? If not, verification would be failed due to the file writing authority absence.
