Solution 1:[1]

Try removing anaconda by revealing hidden files:

ls -a

It should list all of the files, including the hidden files, in your home directory. You should see something like .anaconda_backup or anything related to anaconda. You can remove this by typing

rm -rf .anaconda_backup

or if you find any other anaconda directories, you can replace the .anaconda_backup with those as well.

You can then reinstall anaconda. Hope this helps.
