# Introduction to Handling Uninstallation of Third-Party Python Libraries
In software development, the uninstallation of third-party libraries is crucial. It aids in cleaning up unused libraries, freeing up disk space, and avoiding dependency conflicts. There are two common methods for uninstalling third-party libraries: using pip or conda.
# Theoretical Foundation of Uninstalling Third-Party Libraries
### Overview of Python Package Management Systems
Python has a well-established package management system for installing and uninstalling third-party libraries. The primary package management tools are:
- **pip:** pip is the official package management tool recommended by Python, used for installing and managing third-party libraries based on the Wheel format.
- **conda:** conda is the package management tool included in the Anaconda distribution, used for installing and managing third-party libraries based on the Conda format.
### Principles of Third-Party Library Uninstallation
Uninstalling third-party libraries involves the following key steps:
**Dependency Resolution:**
* When uninstalling a third-party library, it is necessary to resolve its dependencies to determine which other libraries depend on it.
* If the library to be uninstalled has dependencies, those must be uninstalled first.
**Uninstallation Process:**
* After resolving dependencies, the uninstallation process will vary depending on the package management tool used.
* Generally, the uninstallation process includes deleting library files, updating the package index, and cleaning up residual files.
# Uninstalling Third-Party Libraries Using pip
#### Basic Uninstallation Command
The basic command for using pip to uninstall a third-party library is as follows:
```
pip uninstall <package_name>
```
Where `<package_name>` is the name of the third-party library to be uninstalled. For example, to uninstall the `pandas` library, you can use the following command:
```
pip uninstall pandas
```
#### Uninstalling a Specific Version of a Library
If you need to uninstall a specific version of a third-party library, you can add `==` and the version number after the basic uninstallation command. For instance, to uninstall version 1.0.0 of the `pandas` library, you can use the following command:
```
pip uninstall pandas==1.0.0
```
#### Uninstalling All Installed Libraries
To uninstall all installed third-party libraries, you can use the `-r` option. For example, to uninstall all installed third-party libraries, you can use the follow
