One has to be careful when using pip inside a conda environment, whether for installing and unistalling packages. What works for me is based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/43729857/1047213.

1. Install pip that is specific to the conda environment by running conda install pip inside the conda environment.
2. Specify the entire path of that specific pip while installing or uninstalling a package. Usually, you will find it inside the bin folder of the virtual environment (e.g., /anaconda/envs/venv_name/bin/). Thus, the following works for me: /anaconda/envs/venv_name/bin/pip install_or_uninstall package_name.
