can poetry delete virtual enviroments created outside poetry?

[sandeep026]

I have the following virtual environments, where venv was created without poetry.

.venv (Activated)
calc-u2IeJV_l-py3.11

I get the following errors when I try to delete it.

poetry env remove .venv

[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[WinError 5] Access is denied

Can environments created without poetry be deleted using poetry?

At least, it is not intended to work for environments not created by Poetry. See https://python-poetry.org/docs/managing-environments/#deleting-the-environments valid examples for env remove.

However, I think .venv is a special case because it can be created by Poetry (see https://python-poetry.org/docs/configuration/#virtualenvsin-project). Maybe, passing the path to the Python executable or running poetry env remove --all works in that case. Maybe, you have to set virtualenvs.in-project first.
