Accidentally ran pip install -r requirements.txt outside virtual environment

Question

I foolishly ran:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

outside the intended virtual environment. Now my global environment has everything in requirements.txt

Is there a straightforward way to undo this? This issue was raised here, but no real answer was provided as to how to reverse this.

Alas there is no simple way. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/41017868/7976758 Found in https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bpip%5D+uninstall+everything+installed — phd, Apr 13 '22 at 01:13
