Remove pip3 from .local/bin/pip3
I try to clean my python installation(s) on ubuntu 18-04. I did different things with apt-get remove, but there is still a pip3 on my ~/.local/bin/pip3 that I can't remove.
How can I remove it (safely)?

I suspect the~/.local/bin/pip3file was added by you (either by command, or via a script or command you have run). Theapt&dpkgtools add the binary in/usr/bin/pip3(not in the user directory)

Removing python from your system is something you not want to do, as many of Ubuntu's commands and tools depend on it. So you most likely will render your system unusable. But to come back to your actual question about removing the user pip3 directory, the answer simply is:
rm -r ~/.local/bin/pip3
As stated from me before you do this whole python removal on your system on your own risk, so not say you haven't be warned.
