As for avoiding conflicts between different Python environments, you can use virtual environments. In particular, with Miniconda, the following workflow could be used,

$ bash miniconda
$ conda env remove --yes -n new_env # remove the environement new_env if it exists (optional)

The proper way to fully uninstall conda (Anaconda / Miniconda):
Remove all conda-related files and directories using the Anaconda-Clean package
conda activate your_conda_env_name conda install anaconda-clean anaconda-clean # add `--yes` to avoid being prompted to delete each oneRemove your entire conda directory
rm -rf ~/miniconda3Remove the line which adds the conda path to the
PATHenvironment variablevi ~/.bashrc # -> Search for conda and delete the lines containing it # -> If you're not sure if the line belongs to conda, comment it instead of deleting it just to be safe source ~/.bashrcRemove the backup folder created by the the Anaconda-Clean package NOTE: Think twice before doing this, because after that you won't be able to restore anything from your old conda installation!
rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup

How to uninstall bcml and miniconda in Steam Deck?
Why you installed something that says in the landing page it's obsolete and there's a new software that has a steam deck specific version 😭(which just needs to be unzipped and run). I am at work now. On a normal install on PC, the cleanest way would be to run anaconda-clean. Try to run that command anyway, it should give pointers to what is needed to be deleted. By quick googling, the dirty way to remove leftovers is just removing all the references to miniconda in your .bashrc and nuking the miniconda folder should get rid of most of it, it's pretty self contained. There could be also a binary to delete. All my info comes from this thread on stack overflow, it's for another Linux distro but the principles are the same. As for bcml itself, the script just installs it using miniconda and download a .PNG icon and a .desktop file. Deleting the .desktop file and the .PNG file should be all. BIG FAT MOTHERFRIGGIN WARNING - PAY REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION WHEN USING THE rm -rf COMMAND. THAT THING IS LIKE A CLUSTER OF LOW ORBIT ION CANNONS WITH FREE NUCLEAR CLUSTERBOMBS It does one thing, it kills files, and it does it really fast. The -rf part means recursive force which translates to remove the safety and fire it full auto until nothing is left. Aim it the wrong way, and it will mercilessly shred everything from where it's started until nothing is left. Just double check it is aimed toward the folder you want to scrub before letting it loose. More on reddit.com

June 13, 2023what is MiniConda3? Do I need it? I don't remember me downloading it? What would happen if I delete it? PLS HELP!!
This is what google is for.
MiniConda3 is a Python 3 installer for Conda, a Python package manager.
If you do any work with python or use any scripts/programs which need python this is probably what its for.
Once its installed you should be able to uninstall it.

r/SteamDeck on Reddit: How to uninstall bcml and miniconda in Steam Deck?
July 7, 2023 -
I just installed miniconda and bcml in my Steam Deck, but I didn't notice that I installed both in the internal memory not in my SD card so I don't have enough space for my mods (I have the 64 GB completely occupied now). My question is How do I uninstall bcml? Is like in PC with a command? Is the same command? Also is the same way with miniconda? And miniconda can be installed in a SD card?
Any help, please.
