python - How to remove pip package after deleting it manually

I deleted a pip package with rm -rf command thinking that the package will be removed. Now the package has been deleted but it still shows up in pip list and I'm unable to remove it with pip uninstall nor can I update with pip install --upgrade.

I'd like to remove it completely. Can anyone please tell me how?

EDIT

The package is psycopg2.

If I try to uninstall :

hammad@hammad-P5QL-E:~$ pip uninstall psycopg2
Can't uninstall 'psycopg2'. No files were found to uninstall.

This is the directory in which psycopg2 was located /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packagesand I rm -rf 'd it from the same directory.

TIA

packages installed using pip can be uninstalled completely using

pip uninstall <package>

refrence link

pip uninstall is likely to fail if the package is installed using python setup.py install as they do not leave behind metadata to determine what files were installed.

packages still show up in pip list if their paths(.pth file) still exist in your site-packages or dist-packages folder. You'll need to remove them as well in case you're removing using rm -rf
