Step 5: Uninstalling Miniconda
To uninstall Python Anconda/Miniconda, we just simply remove the installation folder and remove the environment variables set in the hidden file .bash_profile in your home directory. For my installation, it will be just like this.
Then, you can edit the .bash_profile file and remove the following entries added for Anaconda/Miniconda directory from your PATH environment variable.
If you do not know where the hidden .bash_profile is located and how to edit it, see below for detailed instructions.
(1) Open a new terminal and go to your home directory. You can do this by using the command below.
(2) use the following command to list all files, including hidden files in your home directory.
(3) Use the cat command to see the contents of the hidden file .bash_profile. Type the following command into your terminal.
You will see something like the following (depends on what you installed, if you installed Miniconda3, you will only see the first two lines. If you installed Anaconda3, you will see the bottom two lines.

(4) To remove installed Miniconda/Anaconda from your .bash_profile use the command below to edit the file using the nano editor.
Remove the Miniconda /Anoconda path in your .bash_profile hidden file.
Then Type control + X to exit out of nano
Save changes by typing Y.
Close the terminal, and now Miniconda/Anaconda should be successfully uninstalled from your Mac.
(Tested on macOS Mojave. Note that you can install Miniconda onto your Mac even when you are not an admin user.)
