💅 PYENV-UNINSTALL — the pyenv-uninstall manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so you've got too many Pythons and you need to say bye to one? say less. this is a User Commands page, it lives in section 1, and it's about yeeting Python versions that pyenv installed. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pyenv-uninstall — uninstall Python versions 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pyenv uninstall [-f | --force] <version> ...

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so pyenv uninstall removes one or more of the Python versions you installed with pyenv. like, it actually attempts to uninstall the version of Python you named. it's giving cleanup era. 🧹✨

and if you pass -f or --force? it just removes the version without asking you for confirmation. no "are you sure 🥺", it simply goes. main character energy fr fr.

and here's the lil plot twist 👀 — if the version doesn't exist, it doesn't display an error message. silent. ghosted. not a single word. 💀

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f, --force — uninstall the specified version without prompting for confirmation. if the version doesn't exist, no error is displayed. no drama, no receipts, just gone. 🙈
