I'm new to anaconda and conda. I have created an identical environment in two different directories. Is it safe to just delete the env folder or the environment that I no longer need, or do I need to do something in the anaconda prompt to remove the environment thoroughly? I'm not sure if creating an environment in a local folder leaves a trace in the registry or somewhere else in the computer that needs to be removed too?

Another option is
conda env remove --name myenv
Effectively no difference from the accepted answer, but personally I prefer to use conda env commands when operating on whole envs, and reserve conda remove for managing individual packages.
The difference between these and deleting the folder manually is that Conda provides action hooks for when packages are removed, and so allows packages to execute pre-unlink and post-unlink scripts.
