You want to discard your existing virtualenv and start anew, but apparently a Poetry virtualenv is bound to a project directory and it is impossible to remove it.
So I decided to reset the repo as a whole and it worked.
- Remove the Poetry project directory (
rm -rf <dir>). - Rebuild the directory (
git clone <URL>). - Run
poetry install.
Although the name of the virtualenv is retained, the dependencies are reset.
