How to uninstall hmmpress from my conda environment?

Question

I have installed hmmpress on my Mac OS X. It is here:

which hmmpress
/Users/user/anaconda/bin/hmmpress

It is available in my root environment:

hmmpress -h
# hmmpress :: prepare an HMM database for faster hmmscan searches
# HMMER 3.1b2 (February 2015); http://hmmer.org/
# Copyright (C) 2015 Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
# Freely distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).
# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage: hmmpress [-options] <hmmfile>

Options:
  -h : show brief help on version and usage
  -f : force: overwrite any previous pressed files

I don't remember exactly how I installed it but I thought that I used conda because it is in the anaconda folder. However, conda search hmmpress returns no packages. I thought it could be part of the hmmer package. Indeed, the hmmer package exists in the bioconda channel. However, if I try conda uninstall hmmer, it says:

conda uninstall hmmer
Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are missing from the target environment:
  - hmmer

Does anyone know how I can remove hmmpress? I thought of rm -rf the /Users/user/anaconda/bin/hmmpress but it does not seem like a clean solution. There might be dependencies elsewhere that I could also get rid of.

This time conda uninstall hmmer in the root environment did the job. The sequence of commands that led me there is shown below. Thanks Devon Ryan.

conda list | grep hmmer
hmmer                     3.1b2                         3    bioconda

conda uninstall hmmer
