Bash Error: No Such File or Directory after Uninstalling Anaconda

Question

After Uninstalling Anaconda I get a "No such file or directory" error in Git Bash each time I open the prompt.I am using Windows 10 Git Bash.

I've looked at all my PATH variables and none of them reference Anaconda. I've also searched all the associated bash files to see if they call for that file on startup. I don't see anything using VSCode 'find in files'.

bash: /c/Users/eme/AppData/Local/Continuum/anaconda3/Scripts/conda.exe: No such 
file or directory

EME@PF166XR4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop
$

It appears bash is looking for this file (which I purposefully deleted) but I cannot find which file is calling for it. Any help would be appreciated.

This error is caused by .bash_profile file.
It is the configuration file for user environments.
It always tries to load conda files.

To get rid of this error, first find .bash_profile.
Common location is C:\Users\your_username

After you find it, you should change the content of the file using git.

go to the file location: cd C:\Users\your_username
go indside the file nano .bash_profile
delete everything related to conda
save and exit

Do NOT just delete the file. There might be unexpected bugs

If you have uninstalled conda on windows and are still able to see the above message, edit ~/.bash_profile with the following commands:

cd ~
nano ~/.bash_profile

Delete the contents related to conda.exe and save. This should solve the issue.

Check if you have a ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile which might still reference an Anaconda resource.

And see if the issue persists when using Git in a simplified PATH.

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
set GIT_HOME=C:\Path\to\Git
set PATH=%GIT_HOME%;%GIT_HOME%\bin;%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin;%PATH%
