Remove venv

This is great in helping install virtual environments. Kenneth said that you can delete the virtual environments when you are done with them. How do you go about doing this within the terminal on a Mac?

First, it's best to have exited the virtual env using deactivate. Then remove the venv directory:

$ cd <dir_containing_venv>
$ rm -r ./venv
