How to uninstall Keras?

I have installed Keras using this command:

sudo pip install keras

It installed properly and worked fine until I tried to import application modules:

from keras.applications.vgg16 import VGG16
Using Theano backend.
Couldn't import dot_parser, loading of dot files will not be possible.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named applications.vgg16

I came across this link which recommends to uninstall Keras and directly install Keras from GitHub:

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/fchollet/keras.git

Before reinstalling Keras from GitHub, I tried to unistall Keras using this command but it throws this error:

sudo pip uninstall keras
Can't uninstall 'Keras'. No files were found to uninstall.

it is not recommended to use sudo with pip , pip install --user packagename is better. – Babita 19/2, 2018 at 4:27

I followed this method to solve my problem

>> import keras
>> keras.__path__
['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keras']

#copy the path
>> sudo  rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keras

#re installation
>> sudo pip install git+https://github.com/fchollet/keras.git

This didn't work for me, It gave keras is already installed error when executingpip install command. So, I run sudo pip uninstall keras to remove keras from pip cache, then install it again succesfully. – Aecium 19/11, 2017 at 9:3

I think you really want to do is not to uninstall the keras, but use the keras.applications.vgg16.
The following checklist will help you to clarify the issue.

Keras version: confirm the version of the keras is latest (now 2.0.5)
Backend: Theano/Tensorflow or the other
Device: GPU or CPU
Python version: 2 or 3 and use Anaconda or not
Operating system: Mac, Windows, Linux, and so on

I recommend to check latest keras, TensorFlow backend(CPU mode), Python3 setting at first. It will solve various problems.

NOTE: Since this edit was rejected for Eka's answer,which worked for me, I added this as answer for folks who have to use Windows.

import keras
print(keras.__path__)
C:\\Users\\oyo\\Anaconda3\\envs\\py36\\lib\\site-packages\\keras

Now in Command Prompt

cd C:\Users\oyo\Anaconda3\envs\py36\lib\site-packages\

rmdir keras

Try this:

sudo pip uninstall git+https://github.com/fchollet/keras.git

If that does not work, what you can see after sudo pip list?

@Greenonline you can see the exact name of keras module installed, I think that the name should be include keras but not is only keras, removing it keras should be removed. – Kosciusko 15/4, 2019 at 6:38

Eh? Why are you addressing the comment to me? I think there has been some mistake. I merely edited your answer for formatting reasons. If you wish to up[date your answer with more info please use the edit button and not the comments... – Stridulous 15/4, 2019 at 8:52

sudo pip install keras

You can simply do that with sudo pip -U install keras

That is for installing or upgrading keras. The question asked for uninstallation. – Pushy 28/11, 2019 at 3:31

The ultimate goal is for reinstall Keras tho. – Twinkling 6/12, 2019 at 17:55

in my case tensorflow 2.13 was working fine with keras 2.14.0, but for randomly downgrading for some requirement, it showed "cast" error, I have tried all method to reinstall keras 2.14 but error was still there. then I have deleted /anaconda3/envs/tf1/lib/python3.10/site-packages/keras folder (for base env, it looks like "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/keras") and reinstalled with

pip install keras==2.14.0

and restarted the kernel then it worked. Basically it was a conflict for randomly upgrading and downgrading thank you!
