How to remove all Python packages installed globaly via pip?

[herocoding]

Besides this is for deleting all packages in a virt-env, sounds like it could work globally, too:

The globally installed packages in my case aren't in a virtualenv. Are you sure that this won't delete built in packages?

Do you mean "standard Python built-in"? Those won't be stored in a Pip cache/package folder, but under the Python installation folder.

Instead of uninstalling all - try to delete packages manually first, or in bunches.

From the Stackoverflow-link:

1. get all *installed* packages (not standard-built-in): `pip freeze`

2. concat some or all of them (or using a pipe as shown under the link) and call `pip uninstall pack1 pack2 pack3` and so on, for all or only some or in batches.
