Hello how to remove the package with its artifacts on Ubuntu - I have a package using Conda.jl and after removing and reinstalling I have still old python dependencies - so some artifacts need to be still present - How to remove all?

Enter Pkg mode in the REPL by typing the `]` character, then

```julia
pkg> gc --all

```

should erase all dependencies that are not used anymore.  
But if it does not work, there might be some stuff related to Python that I’m not aware of…

Conda.jl stores things in `~/.julia/conda` and `Pkg.gc` doesn’t know about that.  
So you need to delete it manually (or makybe use `Conda.rm` before unstalling Conda?)

THere is a newer package for Conda called CondaPkg.jl that handlies this better IIRC
