No metadata preventing installs of other packages

[LizMcQuillan]

I'm trying to install a few packages (spacy, scattertext, etc) and keep getting this pandas error

No metadata found in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/lmcquillan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas-0.25.1.dist-info/METADATA'

Haven't been able to find a solution yet. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail.

How are you installing pandas?

How are you installing pandas?

I previously installed pandas using conda. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall with both pip and conda.

Does this happen in a new environment?

I ended up solving this by manually deleting all pandas files/folders from terminal and reinstalling. The uninstaller wasn't actually completing the uninstall because it couldn't find the missing file to delete.
