[conda] Removing unsued packages in Conda

[l***@gmail.com]

When we install a package then it brings along other packages as
dependencies. e.g. I installed /folium/ and there were 8-10 dependencies.
Now after using it for a week, I removed /folium/ but Conda did not remove
any of the dependencies. They are not used by any of the program/packages
either. is there a way to remove such unused packages ?

I know in Debians toolbox there is a tool that can help with the removal of
orphans, I think gtkorphan(?).

However I did find this too.

Thanks Matt, though I neither use Debian nor Anaconda. I have Arch Linux
and Miniconda installation

Hi,

There is a flag: --prune to conda install

Since 'conda install' doesn't work without a package spec as an argument,
and python is almost always present in any of my environments, I do:

conda install python --prune # This removes any package which was
installed as a dependency (not installed explicitly) and no package depends
on it any longer in that environment.

Cheers!
