+## Uninstall your own Extensions
+To remove the previously installed extension, you have to set `PYTHONNOUSERSITE` to `0`. Otherwise pip will not look into the locally installed packages. 
+```
+source /tmp/custom/load_jupyter_version.sh # This loads the jupyter environment
+PYTHONNOUSERSITE=0 pip uninstall jupyterview
+```
+After a restart of your JupyterLab, the extension will be fully removed.
