I have been trying to download pytorch and this is error message i get: Could not remove or rename C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pkgs\pytorch-1.5.1-py3.7_cuda102_cudnn7_0\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib\cudnn64_7.dll. Please remove this file manually (you may need to reboot to free file handles)

It seems conda is trying to remove the mentioned file, but isn’t able to do so.
Did you try to remove it manually (or reboot and remove it) as suggested in the error message?

Couple of questions:

  1. Do you have the Nvidia GPU card plugged in? Have you installed the GPU driver for your Nvidia card?
  2. Have you installed VS 2019 Redist https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe?
  3. There isn’t raise err in line 103 of __init__.py for v1.5.1 binaries. Are you sure you installed the correct version? See https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/v1.5.1/torch/__init__.py

No, please how do i go about achieving your questions: to install
1.Nvidia GPU card plugin
2.VS 2019 Redist

  1. Search, download and install the GPU driver at https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
  2. Download and install https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

JUST write this command

Check the file conda is unable to delete e.g. as seen here:

Could not remove or rename C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pkgs\pytorch-1.5.1-py3.7_cuda102_cudnn7_0\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib\cudnn64_7.dll. Please remove this file manually (you may need to reboot to free file handles)

and remove it either from the terminal (via rm) or using your Windows Explorer (in case you are using Windows as is the case for this user).

I don’t know where you are stuck and think you know how to remove files from your system?
If not, a search for your OS and “how to remove files” should show some tutorials.
