[FIXED] Where does opencv come from in spyder

Issue

I'm working on a project where i use Spyder-IDE from anaconda. I just need to download certain opencv version. Therefore i uninstalled my current openCV version from anaconda environment (see image below):

However, the opencv which i assumingly uninstalled Bibliothek is still being imported in spyder (see image)

As you see above the library still being imported

I also checked if its installed using pip but didn't find anything

So where does it come from and how to emove it?

Thanks in advance

Solution

So where does it come from

To find that out, you need to write

cv2.__file__

how to remove it?

It depends. If that file name contains directory names related to Anaconda on it, you should use conda to do that. If it contains AppData and Python37 or Python38, you need to go to that location and remove that directory by hand.
