I installed a dual boot of Ubuntu because I wanted to work through Deep Learning with R and doing so on Windows was a pain at the installation step. I installed Anaconda (I am not a Python user but I figured I needed to install it anyway). Then, I installed Miniconda because when I ran install.packages(keras) in R, it asked me if I wanted to, and I just wanted Keras to be happy. Then, I followed the instructions here (I have both Anaconda & Miniconda installed - can I delete one?) to delete Anaconda but that didn't seem to do anything.

Should I just reformat my hard drive now and reinstall Ubuntu?

No, dual booting should cause any problems. The only reason you may run into issues is if you fully run out of space.

[EDIT]: To uninstall anaconda, enter its directory and run rm -rf ~/anaconda, as shown here.

    @CelineDion Then any issues you have are unrelated to the dual boot. – CATboardBETA Jan 13 '21 at 16:09
  • That's not what I'm asking, though. I installed both Anaconda and Miniconda. I then tried to uninstall Anaconda using `anaconda-clean` and it didn't work. I'm probably being anxious. – CelineDion Jan 13 '21 at 16:11

    @CelineDion That is not how you uninstall anaconda. You uninstall anaconda by entering its directory and running `rm -rf ~/anaconda`, as seen [here](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/) – CATboardBETA Jan 13 '21 at 16:13
  • Should I expect any problems having both Miniconda and Anaconda installed on my system? I am not familiar with these package managers. – CelineDion Jan 13 '21 at 16:18
  • @CelineDion I don't understand why Keras would want miniconda, given anaconda has everything miniconda has plus many more packages. You might want to read [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45421163/anaconda-vs-miniconda) thread. – CATboardBETA Jan 13 '21 at 16:21
  • @CelineDion You should avoid having both in the same conda environment. – CATboardBETA Jan 13 '21 at 16:22
