'reinstallimng Anaconda 3 on mac

I have been trying to reinstall Anaconda3 on my Macbook pro with no success. I keep getting this error:

Anaconda3 is already installed in /opt/anaconda3. Use 'conda update anaconda3' to update Anaconda3.

I have followed the discussion on different forums and went through the recommendations to uninstall Anaconda by going through these steps:

conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes
rm -rf ~/anaconda3
sudo rm -rf /anaconda3
rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
sudo rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum

and then cleaning backup and deleting the bash file info.

But I had no success and keep getting the same error. I even installed and the uninstalled anaconda from the command prompt but still get this error when I try to install it from graphical install (want to get the app). At this point I am stuck, would appreciate any suggestions.

I am not 100% sure this is correct, but I had the same problem and put this into my terminal:

sudo rm -rf /opt/anaconda3

So far everything works fine for me. I am guessing that some part of anaconda is installed in a hidden folder.
