Can I just delete the venv folder in django to delete virtual environment?

I am trying to remove an old virtual env from a django project and just create a new one from the beginning. However, I am concerned if it is okay to just delete the venv folder through my windows file explorer. I have researched online, but I couldn’t find a suitable and clear answer to this question. Thank you, and please leave a comment if you have any questions.

Just back up packages and their versions before you delete your virtual environment.

I suggest you to:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Delete your virtual environment.

After creating a new one:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Sometimes it is a big problem to lose package versions. In terms of compatibility
