Hi @IROS ,

To remove all user-created ROS [1 / 2] packages, you just need to delete the src folder, re-create the src folder again and re-compile the workspace.

ATTENTION / WARNING / CAUTION:
This action will remove / delete / wipe-clean ALL your packages inside the src folder.
Please take a backup before you perform this task!

For ROS1:

cd ~/catkin_ws
rm -rf ./build ./devel ./src
mkdir src
catkin_make && source devel/setup.bash

For ROS2:

cd ~/ros2_ws
rm -rf ./build ./install ./log ./src
mkdir src
colcon build && source install/setup.bash

Regards,
Girish
