Uninstalling spyder

I tried for some reason to uninstall Spyder (using purge --auto-remove and all) from Ubuntu 16.04. Apparently Spyder is now uninstalled, but

which spyder

gives

/usr/local/bin/spyder

and I can still launch Spyder.

How do I completely uninstall Spyder ?

You have copies of this program not installed by your package manager.

Have you installed packages from source or with other package managers such as pip? If you used something like pip, try uninstalling using pip. EG:

sudo pip uninstall spyder

If that doesn't work you can search your computer for spyder stuff, and delete it manually. Start by deleting spyder from /usr/local/bin:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/spyder

Now rerun which spyder and see if anything turns up. If so delete that too.

Finally, find and clean up any associated config files etc.

Locate is easy to use so install that first:

sudo apt install locate && sudo updatedb

Then look for spyder:

locate spyder

You can then look through the list that has been returned to you and decide if there is anything else you need to delete.

I honestly don't remember what I did to install Spyder on usr/local/bin but it was certainly me not understanding what I was doing. Anyways, I plainly deleted it and everything now seems uninstalled. Thank you.
