This code is a Python utility for uninstalling all installed Python packages in the current environment and clearing the pip cache. It is especially useful for resetting development environments or freeing up disk space.

---

### Code Description

#### Objective

The script automates two common processes for developers or system administrators who want to reset or clean the Python environment:

1. **Uninstall all installed Python packages:**

   - Uses the `pip freeze` command to list installed packages and then uninstalls each one.

   - The uninstallation is done automatically without asking for confirmations, thanks to the `-y` parameter.

2. **Clear the pip cache:**

   - Removes the temporary files stored by pip, saving disk space and ensuring a cleaner environment.

---

#### Key Components

1. **Function `uninstall_all_packages`:**

   - Lists all installed packages using `pip freeze`.

   - Uninstalls each identified package.

   - Handles errors that may occur during listing or uninstallation.

2. **Function `clear_pip_cache`:**

   - Executes the `pip cache purge` command to clear cache files.

   - Displays messages indicating the success or failure of the operation.

3. **Main Block (`if __name__ == "__main__"`):**

   - Calls the functions in sequence: first uninstalls the packages, then clears the cache.

   - Displays status messages to inform progress.

---

#### Practical Application

This script is useful for:

- Resetting Python environments on development or production machines.

- Cleaning the environment before setting up new packages or dependencies.

- Saving disk space by removing unnecessary packages and cache files.

#### Warning

**Attention:** This code removes all installed packages in the Python environment, which can impact configured or in-development systems. Use it with caution and preferably in isolated environments (such as virtualenvs or containers).
