title: How to clean up /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages under Mac OS X El Capitan
body: <p>So I was messing around following all kinds of tutorials telling me to sudo pip install instead of doing it right by using a virtualenv for properly handling what my individual web apps need. The result is a bunch of stuff in my site-packages and I was wondering what the actual default would be so I can pip uninstall (or can I just delete the folders?) to set this back to Mac OS X default and then do it nicely in my virtualenv.</p>
  
  <p>I could not find an answer how to "reset your site-packages" or what is installed by default.</p>
  
  <p>I currently have:</p>
