How to accesss a python virtual enviroment when the command prompt is accidentally closed?

Question

I opened a virtual enviroment and accidentally closed the command prompt window in Windows.

I wanted to delete the virtual enviroment folder, but when I tried, it says program is running which still uses the files.

So how do I get back to the virtual enviroment, without opening a new one?

Just kill the daemon-process by command in Ctrl+Alt+Del interface. Then you can delete a folder

How do I find the name of the process? I tried looking up the name of the virtual enviroment, but didn't find anything – SantoshGupta7 Mar 30 '20 at 18:35
Try kill the process with a name that looks like "python" – Evgeniy Mar 30 '20 at 18:41
There doesn't seem to be any process with that name either – SantoshGupta7 Mar 30 '20 at 18:42
